Your client has the following requirements:Many customers are installing their own solar electrical generationequipment.

According to the Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service User Guides, measuring component types define the most important properties of a measuring component, such as what it measures, how regularly it measures it, and whether it should be connected to a physical device1. Measuring component types also specify how the measuring component’s final measurements should be stored, and whether they are subtractive or consumptive1. In this case, the client needs to measure both the energy imported and exported by the customers who have solar electrical generation equipment. Therefore, the solution is to create two new measuring component types, one for subtractive import and the other for consumptive export, and link them to the same scalar device that has separate registers for both readings. This way, the measuring components can store the measurements in kWh and apply the appropriate sign to indicate the direction of the energy flow2. References:
