US solar and storage player Borrego has launched a procurement platform and optimisation software aimed at developers, investors and engineering, procurement and construction companies.
The proprietary technology engine behind the Anza digital marketplace is a cost and performance modelling software that identifies the most optimised solar module and storage components based on customer-provided project details.
Anza already has nearly 250 projects and 8GW in the application.
In addition, customers have purchased 1.7GW of solar modules and energy storage equipment, with single orders as large as 350MW.
The company estimates that 90% of solar modules sold in the US and key storage suppliers are already supplying product data to the Anza platform.
Through Anza, customers purchase the modules and battery equipment, leveraging Borrego’s long-standing supplier relationships and favourable pricing, warranty and delivery terms.
Anza’s new technology provides robust modelling and analytics based on customer-submitted project details to deliver the most financially attractive equipment options for developers, independent power producers (IPPs) and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies.
Pulling from equipment availability and pricing from qualified suppliers, Anza provides up-to-date net present value (NPV) ranking reports based on these factors, project inputs, and equipment performance.
“Anza is a completely different procurement experience from what large-scale solar and storage buyers are used to,” said Aaron Hall, president of Borrego and Anza.
“Instead of looking for and locking in the costs of modules and storage equipment long before they need the items, Anza customers can now see how much any module or battery is worth to a project in real-time when they need it.
“Anza simplifies the procurement process, saving time and money and enabling buyers to recognize better project returns.”
