This self-dimming system is provided with: a pair of transparent substrates (2) which are arranged oppositely and apart; a main body unit (5) which comprises a frame which, while holding the pair of transparent substrates, forms a gap (12) together with the pair of transparent substrates; a dimming unit (6) which is provided with a dimming element (6a) which is arranged in the gap and which reversibly changes the optical characteristics through hydrogenation and dehydrogenation; a generator (10) which is arranged in the main body unit; a hydrogen intake and exhaust unit (9) which, during supply of power generated by the generator, generates hydrogen by electrolysis and supplies said hydrogen into the gap and which, during non-supply of power generated in the generator, uses the hydrogen in the gap to generate power; and a control means (32) which controls the supply or non-supply of power generated in the generator to the hydrogen intake and exhaust unit. |
