Easiest way to check (without having a consumption monitor) is to go check your meter and take down the numbers, and then check again each day and note the difference. The meter screen will switch back and forth showing cumulative numbers for what was imported vs what was exported. Jot down the numbers and then if you check the next day, compare the difference between the import and export numbers and make the switch when you see the difference of export number being larger than the import number.
You can also do this in weekly periods if you don't want to check every day, and then make the switch the first week you see the excess on the export side.
