Did you know there’s a silent war going on inside your home? Alternating current (AC) electricity comes in from the grid, but all of your appliances and lighting run on direct current (DC). Every time you plug something in, power must be individually converted from AC to DC, a costly and inefficient process. Purdue University researchers have proposed a solution to the problem by retrofitting an entire house to run on its own efficient DC-powered nano-grid.
