One problem with low-voltage DC is that according to Watt, to achieve equivalent power (watts) at a low voltage, current is higher. And heat is proportionate to current squared. So you can't send a lot of power at low voltage because you lose a lot to heat. That means low-voltage runs have to be kept fairly short, or very low power, limiting their usefulness.
