Yeah, Ford has a neat idea, there.

As for your buddy, Kick, that's a lot of work that the average human ain't going to figure out, nor should they have to. Efficiency, battery tech, PV, etc. simply have a long ways to go. Once that stuff gets into place, then appliance manufacturers will start sorting out the need to convert to 12V, home builders will get on board, etc.

It's many years away, but it's getting there.

Slowly.

Honestly, I think it's going to take a very enterprising and risk-taking property developer who designs and builds a 500+ home community driven entirely by its own solar capabilities. Roof-top solar, LED's everywhere, 12V appliances, car chargers, etc. It will be for rich people, but it will start a trend that will drive innovation, pricing, availability, etc.
