Frequently Asked Questions
How do custom AI integrations actually save time for solar installers?
By unifying CRM, design, and project management tools into a single system, custom AI integrations eliminate 20–40 hours per week spent on manual data entry. For example, the Scanifly × Unirac integration saves over 2 hours per project by automating drone survey to plan set workflows.
Isn't using no-code tools like Zapier good enough for connecting our solar software?
No-code tools are often brittle and lack long-term scalability. Unlike these, AIQ Labs builds custom, two-way API integrations from the ground up—ensuring reliability and full ownership, which is critical for complex, high-stakes solar workflows.
Will automating our workflow reduce the quality of customer interactions?
No—automation handles repetitive tasks like scheduling and data entry, freeing your team to focus on high-value customer engagement. AI-powered systems can achieve 95% first-call resolution, improving service while reducing support costs by 80%.
What’s the real impact of delays in solar installations?
Every week of delay increases cancellation risk by 5–10%, directly impacting revenue. With soft costs making up 65% of total system costs, automation that speeds up permitting and approvals can save thousands per project.
Do we actually own the AI system AIQ Labs builds for us?
Yes—AIQ Labs delivers full intellectual property and code ownership, eliminating vendor lock-in. This means you retain complete control and can modify or scale the system without dependency on subscriptions or third-party platforms.
How quickly can we see ROI from a custom AI integration?
Measurable ROI starts early: AI automation reduces invoice processing time by 80%, accelerates month-end close by 3–5 days, and increases qualified appointments by 300%, with results seen within weeks of deployment.
