Not mentioned so far: AC->DC adapters also provide galvanic isolation. In many power supplies, that electric isolation comes 'for free', as you don't want device(s) connected to high voltage wiring anyway. AC vs. DC as input isn't that big a deal really. In situations where power source (solar!), storage and most consuming devices are low-voltage DC, just use a DC based setup if more practical. I'm on a boat & most everything electric here is low voltage DC. But I do have a 12V->230V AC converter when needed. In short: AC & low voltage DC can live happily side-by-side. The DC vs. AC debate is kind of a moot point these days.
