rhi is a similar income to solar £££ for £££, providing you are using your solar not exporting.
rhi profitabilty/payback depends on what extra systems you need to distribute the heat. Most poultry farms for example run on gas heaters so the sheds need new hot water powered heaters and lots of expensive pipework/electrical work
A house/office with pre-existing hot water radiators would be much simpler, even more so if you had an existing outhouse for the boiler to live in.
multiple buildings can be linked but the underground insulated pipe isnt cheap and still suffers some heat loss.
straw and chip systems will require a more extensive fuel storage/loading arrangement.
pellet boilers only need a simple store, a feed bin for example, but pellets are a more expensive fuel.
There is a limit to the tarrif paid each year per boiler, I expect to exceed the tarriff amounts each year, after that a tarriff is still paid but much smaller.
4 or 5 year payback maybe , but its a considerable investment
