So if people are still struggling with this, this is what I have done.
 
Dont judge my awesome paint skills as per attached.
 
Keep in mind that I dont have an essential and non essential BD. Everything in my house runs through the inverter.
 
I bought the following:
2 x https://www.robofactory.co.za/smart-switches/167-63a-1p-smart-circuit-breaker-with-monitoring-ewelink.html
1 x https://e-glow.co.za/products/ats-toq5-63a-ac-2p-230vac-tomzn
 
On my Deye inverter, I changed the Work mode settings to "Zero export to load"
 
Ran live and neutral wires from the "grid port" on the bottom of the inverter through a smart switch into the Source B (City power) on the transfer switch
Ran live and neutral wires from the "load port" on the bottom of the inverter through a smart switch into the Source A (PV and inverter) on the transfer switch
On the bottom of the change over switch 9The load port), I wired Live and neutral to the geyser.
 
On the smart switch for Source A (the inverter), I set the timer to come on from 11:00am until 15:30pm. I will use the sun to warm up the geyser, so we will have hot water at night.
On the smart switch for Source B (City power), I set the time for the morning between 03:00 and 06:00. Here I will use Eskom to ensure the water stays warm.
 
Note: Even if the city power smart switch is on, the change over switch will automatically switch over to Source A as soon as the source A smart switch turns on. 
 
Hope this helps...

Thank a mil

You are not far from my place, I used these guys for my CoC

Better to source the equipment yourself and get an installer.

If the OP can supply his inverter through a 30A breaker and set his AC charge current to 30Amax, he will be ok with 4mm^2 cable. His installation will pass CoC with those small corrections 

If you put a 30amp circuit breaker inside the DB on the 4mm cable feeding the inverter and a 30amp circuit breaker on the 4mm cable coming back from the inverter into the DB that will be to code. Provided that your inverter doesnt draw more than 30amps you will be ok. As it stands the 4mm cable supplying the inverter is connected before your homes main switch meaning that you are not able to switch it off via the mains (very dodgy) The 30amp circuit breaker feeding the inverter should be connected after the 60amp mains isolator switch.
I'd suggest you have an electrician have a look at the other shortcuts they took as this is very concerning.
