Commercial Solar
From 30 kWp factory rooftops to 1 MW ground-mount arrays -- NICEIC and MCS-certified installation, DNO management, and ongoing monitoring from FLD's Swansea base.
South Wales receives 940 to 985 kWh per kWp per year according to PVGIS irradiation data -- materially similar to London and significantly higher than Manchester. Paired with commercial grid electricity at 28 to 32p/kWh in 2025-26, the economic case for rooftop PV is straightforward.
A 100 kWp commercial system installed in South Wales typically generates 95,000 kWh annually, producing a year-one benefit of approximately £23,000 and a simple payback of 3.5 years. With the 100% Annual Investment Allowance set against corporation tax, post-tax payback drops to 2.5 years.
