Tesla is trying to be disruptive with the Powerwall. Their offer is a 7 kWh system for, ideally for use with grid power in combination with solar. Elon's vision is to put one of those in every home to even out the power demand from the grid. At that energy capacity, it sits between a backup system and a completely isolated system, and will indeed typically be cycled every day.
It's a bit pricey, yes. But his bid, just like with the cars, is to start at the top, and wait for the market to grow and the technology to mature. Whether it will be successful, is for the future to tell.
