Fast-tracking distributed solar installations in the UK with FYLD

As the UK intensifies its focus on renewable energy targets, distributed solar is rapidly emerging as a key pillar in the transition to a greener future. Rooftop installations, commercial solar farms, and distributed energy projects are growing in importance, supported by government initiatives, decarbonisation goals, and rising energy costs.

But scaling solar projects quickly and efficiently remains a challenge. Distributed generation often involves complex coordination between contractors, local authorities, and field teams—especially when streetworks and traffic management are part of the equation. Delays and inefficiencies can limit profitability and slow down the energisation of assets.

Meeting the demand for smarter solar project delivery

With the UK solar sector under pressure to deliver more capacity, faster, and at a lower cost, solar providers need smarter, AI-powered solutions. FYLD’s AI-driven work execution platform empowers solar teams to streamline operations, increase productivity, and accelerate project timelines—while ensuring safety and compliance standards are met.

Whether managing distributed generation projects across cities or remote locations, FYLD provides real-time visibility and predictive intelligence to keep projects moving.

How FYLD helps solar providers in the UK

Customised workflows for distributed solar
Every solar installation has unique demands, and FYLD’s configurable workflows ensure projects stay aligned with those needs. Whether it’s traffic management planning, materials tracking, or permit management, FYLD delivers visibility and control across the entire project lifecycle.

By connecting field teams, contractors, and project managers in one streamlined platform, FYLD eliminates silos, fosters accountability, and ensures faster execution.

Real-time risk detection for safer sites
Safety compliance on UK solar sites—particularly when dealing with road closures, traffic management, and public spaces—is a critical concern. FYLD’s AI-powered Video Risk Assessments (VRAs) and computer vision tools help identify site-specific risks in real-time. This enables supervisors to proactively address hazards before they escalate, reducing the risk of delays, accidents, and non-compliance fines.

Streamlined material and traffic management
Delays caused by material shortages or traffic management hold-ups can add hours or days to solar project timelines. With FYLD, solar providers can track the delivery and status of materials in real time and request traffic management remotely through FYLD’s ShowMe feature—eliminating unnecessary site visits and preventing downtime.

Seamless collaboration across teams
Distributed solar projects require tight coordination between field teams, local councils, and contractors. FYLD acts as a central hub for real-time communication and updates, ensuring everyone stays aligned. AI-powered alerts notify teams of blockers before they impact project milestones, keeping progress on track.

Comprehensive handover and reporting
FYLD simplifies project handover with automated data capture and comprehensive reporting tools. From streetworks compliance documentation to asset energisation reports, everything is captured, stored, and easily shared with stakeholders. This not only accelerates sign-offs but also builds trust with clients and regulatory bodies.

Continuous optimisation with predictive analytics
FYLD’s advanced analytics help solar providers identify recurring issues, spot inefficiencies, and refine workflows. By analysing trends in safety, productivity, and project performance, teams can continuously improve operations and deliver better outcomes on future projects.

The business impact for UK solar providers

Solar companies using FYLD can expect:

• Accelerated timelines: FYLD reduces downtime and inefficiencies, enabling projects to be completed up to 10% faster.

• Enhanced productivity & safety: AI-driven risk assessments and automated workflows increase field team productivity while reducing incidents.

• Cost savings:  By minimising rework and streamlining operations, FYLD helps reduce project costs and improve profitability.

• Scalability: As the UK’s solar capacity scales, FYLD’s AI-powered platform ensures solar providers can manage more projects without sacrificing quality or compliance.

Why FYLD matters for the UK solar market

The UK government’s net zero goals and commitment to renewable energy make distributed solar a national priority. But to achieve these targets, providers must overcome challenges around fragmented communication, safety risks, and operational inefficiencies. FYLD’s agentic AI, predictive intelligence, and real-time visibility bridge these gaps, empowering teams to work smarter and faster.

By transforming field workers into data sensors and decision-makers, FYLD enables solar providers to scale distributed energy generation efficiently and sustainably.
