am i right that a clamp meter like:

would tell me how much amps is flowing, but not be able to tell me
whether its coming into the house or going out.

That is precisely why I posted in response to your question a few
days ago:

Get them to split the feed from the meter (via a Henley block) to
a separate consumer unit for the PV only. This means that you can
slip a monitor over the cable feeding only the main consumer
unit. Otherwise you cannot tell if you are consuming or exporting
until smart meters arrive.
