“When we had the choice to procure directly from a manufacturer or with Anza’s support, we chose Anza because it provides more value. With Anza, I get better information, more diligence, a pre-negotiated contract I can trust, and a team that knows what they are talking about.

– C.J. Colavito
VP of Engineering
Standard Solar

“Anza provided Aypa essential procurement and commissioning services for our 150 MW AC battery project in ERCOT. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and provided substantial value by supporting the equipment contracting, engineering, and commissioning of the project.”
