Comment on Solar should be packaged with consumer appliances

Another thought I’ve had that warrants a separate comment: Why in the hell arent we wiring DC circuits into houses? Almost everything converts ac to dc these days via a power supply. Why not cut that out and have a larger more efficient main dc rectifier at the panel and run that to USBC ports around the house?

DC power is very inefficient at low voltages. It’s hard to get 5v to stay steady at distances over about 10 feet

Oh fair enough. Amd i guess you wouldn’t want to pump 30v or whatever and use a buck converter because now all we have are heat generators.
