Reading Production not just Consumption #313

I have solar and I have 2 meters installed on the side of my house. 1. Is for tracking Solar Production. 2. Is for Grid Consumption & Grid Sell Back.

I am presently only seeing consumption from the meters and not the production in the output in my terminal. My meters are OpenWay by Itron Model AMI7 FCC ID SK9AMI7 using SCM+.

Is there anyway that I can see the other data such as the Grid Return (Sell Back) & the tracking of the Production meter?

From Grid (Consumption) is displayed as a '4' on the meter.

To Grid or Solar Production (Depending on meter position in the Electrical system in my house) is displayed as a '10' on the meter.
Production (on Production meter) is between the solar panels and everything.
To Grid (On Billing Meter) = Production - What the house has used.

Is there a way that I am missing to see this data or is this not part of the data being provided?

I am willing to perform any needed testing with my meters.

I have attached a PDF from my grid provider on how to read Consumption vs Production on the meters.

You might need to contact your utility provider for clarification or consider using energy management software; legal assistance for such matters is something we often deal with at Nordic China Business Hub.

I do not know enough about Go or this tool but I am making a few inferences. If I am able to detect my consumption, Shown as a '04'on the LCD , on SCM+ at ProtocolID:0x1E and EndpointType:0x6E as Consumption then would I not be able to detect my production, Shown as a '10'on the LCD, at the same ProtocolID with a different EndpointType?

What energy management software do you feel I would need or what clarification would I need from my utility provider?
I do not feel the standard support rep I would be able to speak with would understand or be able to provide the hex value needed to identify Production picked up OTA or provide me assistance with this tool.
