Flagship installations
Five recent 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 | FLD
At peak generation the building runs fully off-grid against a premises consumption of 1,076,017 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.

Read case study250 kWp rooftop solar, Swansea Enterprise Park
G99 approval received in 11 weeks. Installation completed in 8 working days. Year-one generation 241,200 kWh against 237,500 kWh modelled — 1.6% above prediction. Client received Ynni Cymru capital grant of £35,000, reducing net capex to £180,000 and post-grant AIA payback to 2.1 years.
Read case study75 kWp agricultural solar, Pembrokeshire dairy farm
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.

Year-one generation 387,000 kWh against 380,000 kWh modelled. Self-consumption 84% against 78% modelled — the forklift charging integration performed above expectation. Annual demand charge saving from BESS: £16,400. Total year-one benefit: £119,400 against £103,000 modelled. Ynni Cymru grant of £50,000 secured, reducing net capex to £290,000 and post-grant AIA payback to 1.9 years.
Read case study100 kWp school solar, Swansea secondary 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.
Read case studyEICR programme, Morriston Hospital ancillary buildings
All 6 buildings brought into EICR compliance ahead of the NHS Wales audit. Zero C1 observations outstanding at audit. The UHB has added FLD to the approved contractor list for EICR and electrical remediation works across the wider estate.
