As for the Telsa Battery.. it's not really made for solar systems from what I saw (keep in mind I only looked briefly at it) My understanding is it was for use as emergency back up power.. However I suspect they will eventually be used a quick charge units for electric cars..
As for solar & houses.. the problem isn't solar or battery power, but that 99% of all household appliances are inefficient and need to be redesigned to consume less power and run off 12v. Not to mention houses in general are built badly when it comes to solar usage. The wiring is all wrong and so on..
If you want off grid then it makes zero sense to convert 12v or 19v power to 110. You loose a lot of power just doing that. The appliance companies have never had to focus on making things highly efficient as energy has always been cheap.
