If the meter off the power line is a charge-both-ways,
I assume the meter reader has to read both meters and subtract out the solar's kWh number.

That would seem to allow them to keep using the standard meters
and still use the automated drive-by radio system to read them both.?.
Maybe the PV power would be subtracted out of the bill on the company's billing computer.

Sound logical?
