Asked by Morgan

Occasionally someone builds a house "off the grid." They put a bunch of solar panels on the roof and never connect to an electric company. These folks all use DC in their homes. Why do you suppose that is?

Answered by bobpursley
It is not quite true using dc in the homes. Sometimes that is true, but more often the dc is converted by a dc-AC converter, then used.

Why? Sometimes it is cost, sometimes it is "religious", sometimes it is related to political beliefs, in the end, they think it is a good idea.
