House Electrified Exclusively by DC Power

Researchers at Purdue University have proposed a solution for making your home more energy efficient (and cost-efficient). Watch how they transform a 1920s-era West Lafayette house to run on its own DC-powered nano-grid.

“This gives us the opportunity to perform both cutting-edge research on energy-saving opportunities and observe its potential benefits in a truly real-world setting, rather than just relying on simulations,” said Eckhard Groll , the William E. and Florence E. Perry Head of Mechanical Engineering.
