About the Company

Born from Borrego, one of the industry’s oldest and most reliable solar and storage companies, Anza’s approach evolved out of a highly refined proprietary optimization process that was first used internally by Borrego engineering and procurement teams to optimize our development projects. As the industry matured, we saw a need to bring our expertise and analytical capabilities to a broader group of large-scale equipment buyers looking for a quick, simplified way to find and buy products for their projects. The result is Anza, the industry’s first intelligent procurement platform.

At Anza, our mission is to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy. We do this by providing our developer, IPP, and EPC customers with a software solution to accelerate projects and maximize their returns. Our tech-savvy and continuous-improvement focused team is led by industry veterans, including longtime Borrego CEO Mike Hall and President Aaron Hall, one of the industry’s leading experts in solar procurement. Anza’s technology engine was developed and used by Borrego, an industry-leading solar and energy storage developer, EPC and O&M provider.

• Designing and building new web-based tools, components, and applications in a green-field setting
• Mentoring junior developers, both face-to-face in conversation and leading by example, demonstrating an appreciation for communication, documentation, testing, and readability
