Flagship installations
Five recent schemes showing the full FLD capability — defence manufacturing, NHS healthcare, marina residential, leisure and public-sector modular.
Irvin-GQ parachute manufacturing
G99 approval landed in nine weeks. Installation was completed on schedule with zero production stoppages across either shift. Year-one generation is tracking within 1.8% of the PVGIS model. The client subsequently commissioned FLD to scope battery storage addition to capture afternoon surplus against overnight site load, and is progressing with the Scope 3 reporting integration into their MoD supply-chain disclosures.
Parc Dewi Sant
Installation completed with the main entrance continuously operational — no clinical or visitor access disruption. Year-one generation tracking above the PVGIS model. The monitoring output is already feeding into Hywel Dda's estate carbon reporting against NHS Wales decarbonisation targets, and FLD is in discussion with the board on a 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
The centre stayed open for members throughout the refurbishment, with measured illuminance up across every sports and pool zone and materially reduced electrical running costs through the LED conversion. The emergency lighting and fire alarm certification were accepted by the operator's insurers on first submission.
Swansea Recycling Plant sales shop
Modular sales shop handed over on the scheduled public-opening date. The unit has been trading continuously since, with zero electrical callbacks during the defects period and clean annual EICR inspections since commissioning.

Both houses sold on completion. The developer has booked FLD for the next two phases.
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.
Read case study400 kWp warehouse solar, Newport M4 corridor
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.
