I understand what you are saying. I just was not willing to give up my normal way of life to go solar. And really, the only hindering factor was the cost of batteries. Once that was over come, it wasn’t a question of how we need to cut back, or conserve. It just became a matter of more cells and panels.
Really, I am running an entire electric home, and grow room. We did not cut back, or conserve our use. My wife has 3 confection ovens, electric dryer, etc. The only thing I make sure of is, don’t pre heat all the ovens at once. And it takes some serious battery power to do that. And you are right, DC to ac to DC is inefficient as hell, but it’s far easier to overcome that, than rewire everything to be DC.
What would be a far better approach, IMO, would to take that knowledge, that 95% of everything hs its own power supply, and are actually DC. So, what does that really mean? It means that everything you hear about needing a pure sine wave inverter, as hogwash. Your damn modified sine inverter, did not kill your laptop. Separate items, anything that would be an induction load, or ac motor, and resistance loads should be pure sine. So, modified sine on 95% of your house for pennies, and a small pure sine on what actually needs it.
