The panels come from a distributor, the scaffold from a scaffolder, the connection from a network operator, and often the money from a lender. Most of what goes wrong on a job goes wrong at the joins. Installa is built for the installer, and this page is what it can do, and cannot yet do, for the people around them.
Send us your datasheets and we carry your products in the reference library for nothing, marked as supplied by you. No paid placement, and no report on what installers fit.
For manufacturersOrders that arrive as a photograph of a handwritten sheet, with the wrong part number for the optimiser and no clamp count, cost your counter staff the time to re-key them and cost the installer a return. Nobody on either side enjoys the phone call that follows.
An Installa quote already lists every product and quantity in the design, down to the cable runs, because the quote is built from the drawing. What installers can do with that today, and what we are building, is on the right.
The scaffold goes up on the original Thursday. The install moved to the following Tuesday. The installer pays for a week of scaffold nobody used, and you have a crew standing in the wrong street.
Installa keeps the installer’s side of that straight: one calendar, the customer emailed when a date moves, and the scaffold and subcontract work costed on the job. What it does not do yet is let you in.
If your business depends on installers doing the job properly and keeping a record of it, we probably want the same things.
Installa keeps, per job, the MCS and DNO items required for what was installed, with due dates and the certificate attached. If you teach or certify the paperwork, we would like to check that what Installa asks for matches what you require.
Installa does not offer or arrange finance and takes no payment. A quote does carry the estimated generation, savings and payback, worked out by the MCS method. If your customers need those figures in a particular form, tell us.
There is a documented REST API for customers, jobs, tasks, contacts and quotes, with API keys limited to what each may do, and signed webhooks. Accounts packages, job-sheet apps and monitoring platforms can connect that way today. There is no accounts integration built in.
The most useful thing you can send us is a description of what goes wrong between you and your installers. It decides what we build next.
