This makes me wonder if we'll see a return to homes having DC for power instead of AC just to skip transforming DC to AC for homes that go totally off grid.

USB is the new defacto standard DC outlet. It's only suitable for fairly low power (240W) though. That's enough to charge your laptop but not enough to run a gaming PC.

USB-C power delivery can charge laptops. If there's going to be a DC outlet, though, it should be PoE.
