utility meter power sensing

No simple way that I know of. A camera and software watching the dots will do the job in a pinch.
A separate power direction detector (directional power relay) may be the way to go, but they are expensive.

I wonder how utility meter detects power direction? Could I use same procedure?

How to sense when utility power and solar power equal. This would help me to redirect my solar power. Ga. Power meter showed a dot reversal. But I need a electrical signal!
