so I'm thinking (as of yet quite hypothetically) of a solar system, now from what i gather the usual design is solar panels - charging circuit - battery - inverter - load. now from what I see most stuff is done on 12 - 24 volts, so the inverter needs a very bulky transformer if we are talking 1-3 KW to convert 12-24 volts into 240, but as to have enough storage available you need many batteries why not connect them all in series so you have 240 volts DC this can be used to directly power things that run on SMPS which is like anything nowadays PC-TV-VCR-monitors-you name it. and just a transistor circuit with no bulky costly transformer can make 240 VDC into 240 VAC ok you'd probably need like 340 VDC so that the peak voltage of a sinusoidal wave with an RMS voltage of 240 VAC can be achieved but you get the point, after all 1 KW at 12 V means huge currents,
is this currently being done already or am I missing something vital
Thanks for your patience
