So I am in the design/budgeting phase of my home project. I am basing this on an LV 6548 single phase for now. Will set it up for dual phase in the future if this pans out. I have 2 options for panel purchases. Road trip to Santan in GA, or road trip to Charlotte, NC. I put the specs of everything into excel. Anything else I should add/consider?

I don't see $/w.
What is each warranty length?
At $0.15 per kWh for city power, when comes the breakeven point?
 
Panels are all going to be used. Controller and batteries will be new. This is being built as a supplemental/emergency system not as a full off-grid design as we lose power frequently during storms.
