Daily increasing with Solar net energy sensors

Energy
1

Ahoy!
I am in the process of setting up meters using a multi-channel esphome energy sensor (flashed Emporia Vue 2). I currently have 200A sensors on the house mains, and 60A sensors on the solar.

At peak during the day, the house mains go negative, in the spring, very negative, like about -10kW.
During the night, the solar lines go negative, maybe 2 or 3 watts, which goes into the communications cards in the solar inverter.

I know that getting things to be accurate may be a bit of a fools errand, but what should I be setting the energy sensors to? I was able to easily set the basic power sensors so they correctly show positive and negative values, but the daily energy sensors are flagged as “total_increasing” by default and I don’t see a way to change it, nor do I even know what is correct? If it doesn’t always increase, will HA’s energy dashboard get confused? Will data get lost?

Thanks!

Do I have any choice besides setting up separate meters like this?
