Not talking low voltage here. Because DC doesn’t have some of the effects of AC current, you can go much higher on voltage. Think millions. I think some AC systems have gotten that high, but it’s much easier with DC.
And line reactivity *is* a major loss point in the power system. You have a virtual power consumption caused by stray capacitance interacting with the AC signal, which causes a current flow that is out of phase with the voltage, which is unfortunately reflected by extra heat dissipation in transformers, etc., because they are flowing current to feed the reactivity of the line. Heat is loss.
On those big long distribution lines, this is a major problem. The power companies stack capacitors to bring down the reactivity of the distribution lines, but it’s not perfect, it’s only a stop gap actually.
Truth is you will also have significant loss in that Monster Inverter you speak of. Telsa was right back in the day and he is still right today. AC is the best means of long distance power transmission.
