Install a second shore cord for just the AC as suggested above to accomplish what you want.

My reasoning for setting it up this way is:
1)Don't get charged for electricity power when hooked up to shore power to run tv, lights, stereo, etc. You'll be paying for the A/C usage which is the most significant usage. You'll also be paying with shorter battery life. Plus the initial cost of solar.
In the end over a period of time you might save some $ but your reasoning is questionable to me.
And many CGs don't charge extra for electricty, although it's more common for full timers.
2) eliminate the need for a automatic transfer switch to sense when plugged into shore power and switch from solar to shore power automatically and vice versa. This makes no sense at all. An ATS is baically used to switch your AC between shore power and gen. It has absolutely nothing to do with DC including the charger and solar.
