About the Company

Anza is combining data, technology and expertise to revolutionize the outdated, manual solar and storage procurement process. In 2021, driven by these inefficient procurement processes, increasing volatility in supply chains and the ever-present need to reduce solar and energy storage project costs, we saw both a market need and an opportunity to dramatically improve procurement outcomes. As a result, members of the Borrego team launched Anza. Anza is a procurement platform and service that offers our customers a way to compare many options instantly and then select the highest-value solar and storage products for their projects. Our vision is to be the place the solar and storage industry goes to rapidly make optimal design and procurement decisions.

At Anza, we don’t accept the status quo. We are driven by a culture of teamwork, a growth mindset and continuous improvement as we pursue our mission to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy. We have surpassed our growth goals since inception and are looking forward to continuing to build a great team and platform. We believe in having an ownership company culture, so we have implemented an attractive equity program. Join us!
