For manufacturers

Right first time

“The panel’s fine. The design was wrong.”

A string run past the inverter’s voltage limit on a cold morning. A battery paired with an inverter it was never approved for. A layout copied from a datasheet three revisions old. Every one of them comes back to you as a support call or a warranty claim, and your product was never the problem.

Installa is the tool installers design and quote in. It checks each design against the real limits of the products in it before the job is sold. That check is only as good as the data behind it, and we would rather that data came from you.

Your range in the library

Dimensions and electrical values, marked as supplied by you.

Used by the design check

The roof layout, the string and inverter checks, and the generation estimate on the quote.

Never for sale

No paid placement, and no report on what installers fit.

Send us your datasheets. We carry your range for nothing.

Installa has a reference library of panels, inverters and batteries. When an installer adds one of your products to a design, its dimensions and electrical values come from the library, and those values drive the roof layout, the string and inverter checks and the generation estimate on the quote.

Give us your current datasheets and your range goes into that library, correctly, marked as supplied by you. The library is being rebuilt so that every value records its source and date, and so that when a specification changes, installers are offered the newer data on the products they already hold. Nothing will be changed behind their backs.

  • Panels, inverters and batteries today. EV chargers, optimisers and mounting are next.
  • A manufacturer’s figure will never be overwritten by one scraped from elsewhere.
  • Discontinued models stay in the library, marked as such, because they are still on roofs and still get quoted for repairs.
A design being checked: the panel and inverter chosen, the strings per MPPT, and the voltage and current figures against the inverter's limits

Two things we will not do

Installers trust the library because it is not for sale. That is worth more to you than a sponsored slot.

No paid placement

Nobody’s products are ranked, promoted, badged or listed first for money. An installer searching for a 430 W panel sees every 430 W panel we hold, in the order they ask for.

No report on what installers fit

We do not tell you, or anyone, which products which installers choose. The library holds specifications and nothing else, and it never holds a price.

Where this goes next

Correct data is the first step. Two more follow it. Neither is promised by a date.

Manuals and warranty terms on the product

Your installation manual, warranty terms and training links attached to each model, so they travel with the quote and the handover paperwork rather than being searched for on the day.

Approved pairings in the design check

Your list of which inverters, batteries and optimisers are approved together, used by the check so an unapproved combination is flagged before it is quoted.
