An irradiation apparatus may include: an irradiation unit configured to emit a light beam toward a photoelectric conversion unit of a vehicle, the photoelectric conversion unit being configured to convert light energy into electric energy to charge the power storage unit; an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust at least one of a position or a posture of at least one of the irradiation unit or the vehicle; a detector including a light receiving unit configured to receive reflected light of the light beam, and configured to detect a positional relationship between the photoelectric conversion unit and the irradiation unit based on a light receiving result of the reflected light by the light receiving unit; and a controller configured to control the adjustment mechanism based on a detection result of the detector so that the positional relationship between the photoelectric conversion unit and the irradiation unit becomes a predetermined positional relationship.
