Please understand my position. I do not oppose alternate fuels or the use thereof. I do oppose masking costs [of any product, service or idea with tax subsidies. Far too many people mistakenly believe that someone else pays for such subsidies/credits. Boys and girls, there ain't no freebies.
Did your supplier get a tax credit/subsidy to cover part of the cost of the 'solar' installation(s)?

Gallon for gallon, I believe B100 has about 10% less BTUs than regular petroleum diesel.
For every unit of energy used to grow, harvest, manufacture and transport virgin soy B100, you get 3.2 units in return. For rapeseed or mustard seed, the ratio is 1:4.3 (better).
Since restaurant fryer oil has already served its original purpose, the guy that makes my recycled B100 figures that we are getting a 1:12 ratio. He uses solar PV panels to provide part of the electricity and solar hot water collectors for part of the process heat.
