Questions and discussion about solar, batteries, and electrification

Hi,
I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with.
I have a three phase power supply to my house.
I also have a 5kW PV solar system, which uses a single phase SMA inverter.
I have a large, 3 phase, reverse cycle ducted air conditioner. It is an inverter model that steps down from 6kW to 3kW.
I have signed up for the Tesla Powerwall 2, and am due a site inspection shortly.
I am a little confused by how the phases operate but it seems to me that 2 phases of the air conditioner will always be drawing power from the grid.
I believe the Tesla battery is also a single phase unit.
So my questions are:
Any information on this would be helpful as this realisation has put a dent in my payback calculations.
Thanks
