Abstract
An apparatus leverages the existing power interconnect for DC power delivery by including a persistent DC power module into a power panel, thereby enabling a more efficient use of the energy. The persistent DC power module includes, in part, a control unit which is adaptive to the variations and availability of the external DC power source to ensure a constant and consistent delivery of DC voltage. The apparatus minimizes energy waste and e-waste, and is compatible with the existing legacy AC infrastructure.
