Why FLD

What makes the difference

Every contractor says "quality and reliability". Here is the difference you can verify before you sign anything.

No subcontractors, ever

Every FLD engineer is directly employed. You get the same team on site from survey to sign-off. No agency workers, no subcontracting the solar to a third party.

Paul surveys every job

The director attends every site survey personally. You speak to the decision-maker on day one, not a salesperson who hands off to an install team.

One contractor across the full scope

Solar PV is MCS certified and the electrical works are carried out as an NICEIC Approved Contractor. One contractor across solar, battery storage, EV charging, electrical works and testing, so the job is specified as one system rather than split between trades.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, depending on organisation type.

Welsh public-sector bodies use Salix Wales Funding Programme rather than the English Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. Farms may be eligible under Farming Connect. Always check current-year terms before committing.
At 30p/kWh grid electricity, a 100 kWp system generating 95,000 kWh/yr with 70% self-consumption delivers around £24,000 of year-one benefit against c. £85,000 capex, a 3.5-year simple payback. Under Annual Investment Allowance first-year 100% relief, post-tax payback is closer to 2.6 years. South Wales yields 940 to 985 kWh/kWp/year depending on postcode.
