Electrifying Older Homes
Purdue University researchers have retrofitted an entire house to run on its own efficient DC-powered nano-grid. Watch this video to learn more.
“The creation of the 380-volt DC load center was definitely a challenging and rewarding experience,” said Phil Teague , co-founder and CEO of Rectify LLC. “We used biomimicry and the neural connections of the brain as our inspiration, and added smart technologies and control mechanisms. Transitioning to DC can simplify homes, buildings and the grid as a whole. This project helped me realize that DC is not only the future, it always was.”
