8 commercial units, 8 meters on one set of deeds?

[Stephen]

I have been to survey a job and whilst discussing potential options we discussed a 50 kWp system on a barn and a 3 - 4 kWp system for each commercial unit.

I feel that because each unit has its own meter and has its own user(s) it should be seen as 8 seperate systems all with the higher FiT rate. The 50 KwP system will be on a barn with yet another supply.

Do any of you have an opinion on this or how to argue the case that each should be classed as a seperate system with each getting the higher FiT rate?

I would guess that each commercial unit will ultimately have separate customers paying the bills surely that is sufficient to warrant the higher rate.

So long as each commercial unit clearly has it's own MPAN and the systems a re physically sperated - not one single system on the roof with 'mixed' strings of panels, and the power (or some of it) is to be consumed in that specific unit, i.e. each unit has it own physically distinct set of panels there should not be a problem.
