I've certainly wondered many times why we don't wire homes for DC right now. Almost everything in my house runs on DC, and the Solar Panels on the roof generate DC, but it gets converted to AC in between with losses on both sides of that conversion.
Solar (DC) > AC Inverter > DC Converter > Device.
(And in the future, there will be a home battery in there that converts that Solar Inverter AC back to DC, then discharges DC back to AC)
All the electronics, all the LED lights, everything that charges, even my car, all are native DC. What's stopping us from have a parallel DC connection for these things in homes that could be powered directly (ahem) via DC without the conversion?
