How to dedicate PV generated electricity to Meter:CustomDecrement?

Hi community, I have a mixed use building and want to apply a commercial tariff and residential tariff. I do this by using meter:Custom for the residential zones, and then a meter:CustomDecrement for the commercial zones. The source meter for meter:CustomDecrement is the issue. I can not use ElectricityNet:Facility as the source and then decrement the residential meter because the output variables of the residential meter are not part of the source meter roll up. ElectricityNet:facility is a computed meter.

So, how can I create a meter for the commercial tariff that offset by the onsite solar system, while the residential meters are not affected by the PV generation?
