The options available to your business depends on the siz of your solar installation (measured in kWp - the theoretical maximum output your panels could produce)
6kWp would be about 13 panels.
Businesses in this smaller category can avail of the same feed-in tariff as homes - the Clean Export Guarantee (CEG) scheme. Here the utility company both set and pay the tariff to you. Rates of up to 20 cents / kWh are available.
Please see the domestic feed-in tariff page for more information.
11kWp would be about 24 panels.
Our understanding is that if you are on a three phase connection, you may still get the Clean Export Guarantee scheme (CEG) up to a larger limit of 11kWp. Please do check with your utility company first though as they are the final arbitrator here and there's conflicting & ambiguous information across different utility company websites.
Originally there was a commercial scheme envisaged that was called the Clean Export Premium (CEP), for businesses with solar panel arrays of 6kWp to 50kWp.
As we understand the roll out of that has been stopped. Instead, installation grants such as the NDMG grant for business solar have been developed and rolled out. As we understand there's no official scheme for a feed-in tariff for commercial solar above 6kWp (or 11kWp for three phase).
Please though do check with your utility company first before making any decisions on solar - they may still offer a feed-in tariff and will have more up-to-date information that us.
