If you have a good straw boiler and access to "free fuel" it probably stacks up without RHI. A wood pellet boiler might be a different matter!

Do your left eyebrows suffer from stirring or loading straw boilers?

Before the days of RHI we ran two woodchip boilers for general heating and a straw fired boiler for grain drying. With the price of gas 20 years ago we paid off the straw boiler in about the first year. As soon as RHI money and specifications came in, the cost of the boilers shot up.
We are now on heat from the AD plant, helped by RHI without which we would not have piped under the road to three farm cottages all of which used to have oil boilers.

Interesting Windhager went bust last week. Apparently part of the problem was they built a whole "wood pellet experience centre" as part of a new factory that maybe wasn't as popular as expected. Then sales fell by 60-70% as pellet prices went through the roof. Not ideal but I am pretty sure someone will buy it out of insolvency. https://industriemagazin.at/news/windhager-beantragt-insolvenz/
We advise biomass owners on the most cost effective route for achieving compliance when changing meters at 10 years. We carry out all aspects of the revised on-line accreditation process. creativeenvironments.co.uk

What are your charges and location please?
We are located in Devon, however travel across the UK when required. Most of our work requires a survey of the existing installation where multiple meters are installed ( generally 4+ meters). Recoverable fee depends upon complexity and distance travelled. We provide a fixed quotation.

Do you do annual biomass maintenance heatas regs too?
No, we are not installers. Our service is based on reducing metering costs and administration for RHI applicants.

I have a question about Sontex meters and glycol. My Ofgem inspector has questioned the approval markings and the presence of glycol. They are saying if glycol is in the system then it cant be 'MID' approved as this is only for water? Can anyone offer any experience with this issue?

They don't work well with Glycol allegedly.

We don’t add any to ours, it tends to corrode over time.

I remember years ago our Kamstrup rep stated their not compatible with Glycol or other type inhibitors so we never used any, plus on a large system quantity and expense of it was large too.
