Using these meters is motivated by resilience calculations for batteries. Should we additionally create unit meters for MeterCustomElectricityTotal, MeterCustomElectricityNet, and MeterCustomElectricityPV so that we can support reporting out Electricity Total and Net for each unit?

Yes. We call create_custom_meters for each unit model in addition to calling create_custom_meters on the merged model.
…tal and Net for each unit.

We should think about how this interacts with modeling central/shared systems. |

Maybe unit-level outputs should be reported in a separate, e.g., results_annual_by_unit.csv file? If in the future we decided to report more than just energy use by fuel type, the results_annual.csv file may grow annoyingly long...

Another idea is to just append unit-level outputs to the end of results_annual.csv. That way, results become more detailed as you scroll deeper into the file.

I don't have a strong opinion, but appending unit-level outputs to the end of results_annual.csv seems reasonable to me.
Pull Request Description
Addresses #1499. Adds custom meters to calculate energy use for each dwelling unit.
