it has been installed vs we have installed

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'It has been installed' is passive voice, which is used when emphasizing the action of installation without specifying who did it. 'We have installed' is active voice and is used when the subject (we) is the doer of the action. The choice between them depends on whether you want to focus on the action itself or on who performed the action.
