strong points and potentials

A DC electricity grid will distribute the electricity throughout the Green Village. DC grids will be applied in the buildings and on the street level, connecting all supply demand. Solar modules will directly connect to the DC grid, no invertor will be needed. Batteries will be charged directly with DC and all appliances will be directly fed with DC power.
