The BI Directional requirement is because it's AC current, has nothing to do with import/export.

The library I mentioned does measure import/export using a single 100A ct exactly as you need, to do this it also needs to measure the voltage using a AC/AC transformer at the same time.
If you look round openenergymonitor.org you will find people have built solar diverters.
