Flagship installations
Recent flagship schemes showing the full FLD capability - defence manufacturing, NHS healthcare, marina residential, leisure and public-sector modular.
637 kW Rooftop Solar: Irvin-GQ, South Wales
At peak generation the building runs fully off-grid against a premises consumption of 1,076,078 kWh per year. Annual CO2 saving of 441.632 tonnes - 14,800 trees-equivalent. Payback 3 years, lifetime ROI £3 million. The client has since commissioned FLD to scope battery storage addition to capture afternoon surplus against overnight site load, and is progressing with Scope 3 reporting integration into their MoD supply-chain disclosures.
Parc Dewi Sant
Since going online in 2022 the system has produced 477 MWh of clean energy and contributed 253,869 kg of CO2 reduction. Lifetime ROI approximately £1 million against a £252,750 capex. The monitoring output is feeding into Hywel Dda's estate carbon reporting against NHS Wales decarbonisation targets, and FLD is in discussion with the board on follow-on scope for additional Hywel Dda campuses.
Cambrian Place
A 33 kW renewable energy source quietly integrated into the Swansea Marina roofscape, supplying 32 residential flats, meaningfully reducing shared-services energy costs and delivering long-term carbon-footprint reduction for the development. The Viridian in-roof finish has been well-received by residents and the managing agent, and FLD has since been contacted on similar multi-occupancy marina-district schemes.
Rainbow Leisure Centre
Estimated annual solar production of 246.17 MWh. Annual CO2 savings of 47.61 tonnes - equivalent to 2,186 trees planted. Estimated lifetime ROI approximately £1 million against a 3-year estimated payback. The centre stayed open for members throughout the installation.
Swansea Recycling Plant
A 50 kW rooftop solar array commissioned onto live modular casings without stopping waste recycling operations. Annual generation of 48.06 MWh delivers 10.74 tonnes of CO2 savings per year - equivalent to 493 trees planted. Payback 3.5 years against a £45,000 capital cost, with a projected lifetime ROI of £300,000.
Princess of Wales Hospital
Estimated annual solar production of 218.44 MWh. Annual CO2 savings of 42.24 tonnes - equivalent to 1,940 trees planted. Estimated lifetime ROI approximately £1.2 million against a 3.5-year estimated payback on the £227,000 capex. The system is now feeding the Cwm Taf Morgannwg estate carbon reporting against NHS Wales net-zero targets.
Further case studies
Cardiff Crown Courts entrance and foyer refurbishment
approximately £50,000
Refurbishment completed on programme, no court sittings disrupted, HMCTS acceptance on first inspection. Warranted by NICEIC insurance-backed guarantee.
Ty-Croes Assisted Living Centre, Llanybyther
approximately £80,000
The project has been commissioned.
Two luxury five-bed detached houses, Bridgend
approximately £65,000 (combined)
Both houses sold on completion. The developer has booked FLD for the next two phases.
75 kWp agricultural solar, Pembrokeshire dairy farm
approximately £71,000 before Farming Connect grant
Farming Connect grant of £28,400 (40% of eligible costs) secured. Net capex after grant: £42,600. Post-grant AIA payback: 1.9 years. The battery has already sustained refrigeration through two winter grid interruptions. The client has enquired about a second array on the grain store.
100 kWp school solar, Swansea secondary school
approximately £88,000 (Salix-funded, zero capital cost to school)
Salix Wales interest-free loan of £88,000 approved. Installation completed in 5 days during school summer holiday. First-term monitoring shows 89% term-time self-consumption - above the 82% modelled. The reception display has been used in 14 science and geography lessons. The school's energy manager has submitted a second application for the sports hall roof.
