Now that people get solar panels for prepping and saving energy, should lamps, laptops and other devices have a new cable standard between USB-C and high voltage to get rid of up and down volting loss? Even though my laptop charges with a 12 volt cable and solar power regulators often provide 12 volts, I can't plug my laptop directly into a solar power system because the power regulator may not fulfill oscilation margins if the controller is too slow at high input voltage. Using the laptop's adapter would require volting up from 12 to 230 volts, only to volt back down to 12 volts with the warranty approved adapter, wasting lots of power on electromagnetism and heat for a voltage that fills no purpose for locally produced energy with low cable resistance.
