Direct Current in the home

With more and more in the home being powered off DC (Direct Current) supplies, e.g. Battery & Solar Panels, then wouldn't it be more economical to consider extending the regulations to cover DC in the home avoiding the need for transformers?

For example, this is particularly appropriate now that lighting is dominated by LED.

  • Unfortunately I do not have a copy of the current regulations as they are very expensive for the occasional read for interest.


    Yes, for DC in the home I would expect to see a standard voltage, maximum power, standard plugs and sockets etc so I can go to a specialist technician and get it done.
