A novel electrical setup for a domestic house is suggested that uses both an AC bus bar fuelled by conventional electrical utilities and a DC bus bar powered by roof-mounted solar panels. Residential rooftop solar panels (RTSP) have become more and more common in recent years. Despite the fact that RTSP produce DC power, the power electronics device is set up to convert DC to AC in order to supply power to the house. As replacements for conventional AC appliances, DC appliances and Brushless DC (BLDC) motor-based devices are now readily accessible. A normal two-bedroom condominium was used for the research, and the AC bus arrangement was changed to include DC bus power from rooftop solar cells and AC bus bar power from the state power system. As before, the AC bus will continue to power high power appliances like geysers and pump engines while the DC bus will continue to power the DC appliances. A combination DC-AC house with rooftop solar electricity has been studied for feasibility using simulation studies using Matlab and Simulink. The early findings made public are encouraging for a novel combination DC-AC house setup.
