I am not a power engineer. Just a curious walker by wondering about this. As far as I can see, we have a lot of renewable energy generators (solar panels), energy storage (battery power banks), simple household electronics (lights, TV, computers etc) already prefer DC and seem to be containing converters that work hard to convert AC to DC. I get that AC is beneficial for power transmission, but why not use DC at the consumption side? As in if all my devices were DC, I could put a bunch of solar panels and hook them up to a battery bank and supply the power needs of the house from the battery right? (without needing to convert to AC)
