The best Solar export tariff... for small business?

Greetings!

I recently helped a Dental Clinic in Maidstone with their PV system. Their reasons for investing in Solar were straightforward:

1) Save on energy costs (they import in excess of 9000 KWh per year)
2) Provide whole Clinic backup with instantaneous switch to battery backup in the event of an outage

18 X 515W bifacial panels paired to a white reflective background has yielded 50+ KWh today. However, as you can see from the consumption graph below, their import drops dramatically towards the end of the work day, which means there is excess power available for export.

I wondered if there was a business export tariff known to be particularly lucrative when compared to others?
