Even at 12V, you still have all of the fire related safety issues.

I considered running 12-V DC wiring around an observatory site that I have since it has a solar PV system and batteries. I was surprised at what large diameter wiring would be required to avoid significant voltage drops in such a system. Going to 24-V instead of 12-V would help, but you still need to consider the length of wiring runs with the high cost of copper.


The reason Westinghouse beat Edison...
