Provided is a solid electrolyte fuel cell having multiple cells (84) disposed within a fuel cell module (2), a reformer (20), a reformer temperature sensor (148) that detects the temperature of the reformer, and a control unit (110) that controls the operation of the fuel cell module. When a fuel cell module that has been shut down is restarted, even if the reformation state temperature (Tr, Ts) is within the POX temperature range (W2) for normal startup, the control unit skips POX, which is used during normal startup, and restarts the module using ATR at least in the high temperature region of the POX temperature range. |
