I just had a revelation..epiphany...whatever you want to call it. It has occured to me that we are trying to power current electrical appliances that use 120v AC power with usually 12v DC power running through an inverter. Why hasnt somebody come up with a home system and appliances that use 12v power directly? I realize that stuff like your A/C, dishwasher, and furnace blower need more power and you would need an inverter for those things.

It just seems to me that producing the power is only half of the alternative energy equation. Using it as efficiently as possible should be the other half.
