I think weโ€™ll start seeing more DC outlets in houses. This is the logical progression following more solar & battery deployments.

This is already showing up in leaders like the Tesla Powerwall 3 being DC coupled(input side of battery storage - but similar concept).

Fewer conversions from AC<>DC is more efficient and decreases component cost & maintenance.

Agree! Simple example: take the 12V from car battery to 5V USB loaders we all have in cars, but now also at home. Also direct DC-DC plugs for 19V laptops.
Much less energy loss.
Being a digital nomad myself (check @Dutchramblers ) energy savings are key.

Is this similar to converting US to UK power?

I bought a day light lamp which requires a US power supply and then had to buy a pretty chunky conversion block to bring it down from 240v to 110v.

For some reason it makes me like it more.

Thanks Bryan Johnson ๐Ÿ˜‚
