But if we are using from solar panels won't that still show? The meter could be right, we are using 9kWh but 3 of those are from the panels so shouldn't be charged.

The power that you use from your panels doesn't pass through the meter. Only the surplus power that is returned to the grid passes through the meter (backwards) as you are paid a different rate to that which you consume. Hence there being separate import and export totalisers
Before smart meters the old analog rotating disc meters would actually run backwards when you were generating more than you consumed. Your bill/credit would reflect your overall balance whereas with the smart meter the two values are separate allowing more complex billing/credits
