Hello

As this is a powerpoint with no explanations for each line, context does not help but they are talking about solar power and panels

What does "fri design" mean for Swedes please?. It appears quite a bit in the names of agencies but not in dictionaries.

Could it be 'unique design" or "novel design"

It is not "free design" in English as far as I can see

Thanks

Explanation:
Can only guess without context. But this says 'unspecified' design to me. Custom or customized sounds better to me.
