Why rethink building power supply?
Today, most of your equipment (phone, computer, LED, EV, smart home devices, etc.) locally use direct current (DC).
But buildings have been relying for 150 years on an infrastructure designed for alternating current (AC).
Which results in:
- energy losses at each AC/DC conversion,
- complex and oversized installations,
- difficulty in precisely controlling and monitoring usage.
Observations :
Unnecessary conversions AC/DC
Local energy losses + Over cost of LED drivers
Complex installation
Sensors/GTB unaffordable
Time to make things simple, effective and logical.
How does the present electric grid looks like ?
Don’t be the last one to know !
What you’ll need
Design
Design of DC grid tailored to your needs
Integrate
Integrate technologies ( PV, IRVE, sensor, LED ) into a unified solution
Installation
Ensure monitoring, installation, and maintenance with ease
Your Questions!
Is direct current really new?
No. Direct current (DC) is already the form of electricity used by most of your devices: LEDs, computers, internet boxes, solar panels, batteries, electric cars…
What’s new is using it directly in buildings, without going through unnecessary, costly, and energy-consuming AC/DC conversions.
How is this useful for me?
With a direct current installation:
- You reduce energy losses (up to 30% avoidable)
- You simplify your wiring and installations,
- You are ready to integrate solar panels, batteries, sensors, and to manage your building intelligently.
It is more efficient, simple, and consistent with modern usage.
Do I need to redo my entire electrical installation?
Not necessarily.
We offer modular and tailored solutions, whether for new construction or renovation, partial or complete.
We analyze your project to determine what can be preserved, optimized, or transformed.
Is it expensive ?
No, on the contrary.
A direct current installation is often less expensive than an alternating current setup with traditional home automation, because everything runs through a single network:
power supply, control, supervision — no need to duplicate systems (electricity + automation cables).
And if we compare it to a “classic” AC installation without smart features:
the slight initial extra cost of a DC network is more than offset in use:
fewer losses, fewer transformers, less maintenance, and buildings ready for renewable energy.
It’s a consistent investment, not a gimmick expense
Is it compatible with my current devices ?
Yes.
Most of your devices require local DC power but are supplied with AC and then converted locally.
The difference with Arc Réseaux is that there is no longer a conversion at each device, but only a single conversion in the electrical panel.
More efficient, more reliable, and generating fewer losses and less maintenance.
If I want to discuss future projects ?
Really simple :
→ Book an appointment with us.
→ To discuss, listen and create new projects
→ Even if you don’t know yet what you want from this meeting, will find together right questions.
