I am sorry to be the one to have to break this to you my friend but Nikola Tesla died in 1943.
The ironic thing is that though AC is much better for distribution of electricity. It is not used by many components in your home. Most components use a circuit called a bridge rectifier to convert the AC to DC for use.
If you install solar panels then you will lose 37% of efficiency in using an inverter to supply your house and then the conversion back to be useful for most appliances. Though a few appliances such as those with heater coils, some motors (though DC motors are ramping up) use AC directly.
Most efficient would be to wire most of your house for DC and only use AC were absolutely required. Though the rewiring would be extremely costly so this really would only be practical on a new build. Not to mention

Not to mention a lot of your appliance that use DC are at this time designed to plug into AC and do their own internal adaption.
In the future I expect there would be a market for appliances designed to work on DC without converting from AC. There is currently a niche market for such devices for RVs.
Both Tesla and Edison had a good grasp of the situation. It is sad they could not work together to make a more efficient overall experience.
