Thanks Pieter. Funny enough the one TV does not dip as much. But again it only a semi smart TV. But I have overcome this with a very old UPS. 

As Pieter mentioned above. There is a very small "backFlow", apologies for the lack of proper terminology. That backflow actually causes the Conlog prepaid meter (mine is a conlog bec23) to trip, as it does not allow for feedback to the grid. I was however fortunate enough to get the code to disable that trip.
The guys at conlog assisted me. This code is meter and account and keypad specific and will unfortunately not help on other meters.

Hi Pieter
Yes I think I understand it now a bit better. As you mention above, I also have my back up mode set at 30% although grid charge disabled. 
What I have seen is with the settings you describe, the inverter will operate in "Self Use" mode while the SOC is above 30% and then switch to back up when needed. At the beginning I thought if I choose back up it sort of always runs in back up mode.
Must say I am very happy with the inverter. Mine is in my living room about 3m from the TV so you can imagine how much I appreciate the silent operation. I have however added one more 535W panel. 
My only problem now is that I am constantly looking for something to switch on by 15h00 as I feel that with full batteries and a still shining sun I am wasting potential energy 😆  

Hi JoeyhZA
As far as I can tell from what I have seen it works as follows:
If the grid is available - All loads (backup and grid output, critical and non critical) will firstly use available PV, then depending on SOC setting (above the backup value, mine set at SOC 20%) it will use batteries and then grid if needed. That being said, the first second or two it does take the start up from the grid. Very small load and very short time, think it is easier to load from the grid.
If the Grid is not available - The non critical load will not be live. The rest will again follow the same as above, just no grid. This is where I found out that the start up of my 2500W WOLFF lawn mower is to high for the 6kW inverter. I tripped my inverter at moment of start. Luckily it does reset after a second or 5.
I enjoy the inverter very much. As previously mentioned, mine is in our TV room and is absolutely silent. Does start internal fan if if constant load is above +-2,5kW. Still silent enough for me.
Hope this helps

Hi Pieter
If I may ask, I know (from my question on another thread) that you also have the 6kw Solis 5g inverter, but what else did you install? Reason for asking is I also spend roughly R90k and was just wondering if I got it wrong.
I installed:
Solis inverter, 2X4,8kW Pylontech UP5000 with 4 535W JA solar panels. Added 1 panel recently (yes I did not really factor in the losses in the system). And then of course all the required brackets, fuses and breakers.
@Cory, if it helps. With my system (5 panels now), with average daily consumption of +-13kWh (Solar geyser and solar swimming pool pump), we went down to using about 500W ONLY from grid daily. This is however a sunny July day in Middelburg MP. On stage 6 we had certain days of 4 hours at a time loadshedding with the system providing more than enough.
