No energy storage solution is infinitely re-usable. Thus there is a price per kWh per cycle.

Consumer energy storage solutions have a higher kWh price than traditional energy generation.

So why store energy as a consumer?

EDIT:

So energy storage only makes sense in a market where power is very expensive (~0.30c/kWh) and even then you might never recoup the investment required to store the energy.
