Just separate all electronics to low-current vs high-current.

Most digital home equipment are low-current.

Electric stoves, ovens, and other simple electric heaters, air conditioners are high-current. EV charger, electric cycle are also considered high-current.

Also in some houses, like Elon Musk house, could be servo-doors, like doors from Star Trek - also considered high-current.

You could use Solar panels with tracker - it also considered high-current.

So, all low current devices best to power from something about 48V, which is safe for people and easy to achieve for electronics, but is high enough to limit currents in power wires. All high-current devices should be powered by 220V or higher, because even on 220V at 1kW power will be significant losses.
