I disagree that, whatever energy those DC needs (additionally) is a waste.
I think its critical for our society to put more into R&D of materials and others for more and faster optimization of solar and batteries.
Nvidia for example does a lot now in omniverse, simulating the real world. Its also potentially co2 saving if you simulate your full car, warehouse etc. digital and iterate over it super fast and opitmize it before it ever creates any co2 in real life.
