Anza launches on-demand PV module intelligence program
Solar and battery data firm Anza has announced the launch of Anza Pulse, a new commercial intelligence platform that provides real-time module market pricing, supplier data, and policy insights.
Designed for solar developers, EPC firms, IPPs, and utilities, the new product serves as an expansion to Anza’s existing solar subscription portfolio. The platform gives solar teams new module-related information 365 days a year, rather than the decades-old standard of periodic updates.
“The solar market intelligence industry was built around quarterly publishing schedules and modeled averages, which have never worked well,” says Mike Hall, CEO of Anza. “A team deciding whether to hedge against a pending tariff, whether to chase the 10% domestic content bonus on an already-secured pipeline, or which suppliers to add to their preferred vendor list given the latest FEOC guidance, needs to know where pricing is today, and not what a model produced last quarter.”
Built specifically for the work that happens between solar procurement cycles, Anza Pulse is made to be a “source of truth,” Hall adds. Always available on-demand, the platform promises data equivalent to running a new RFP across every supplier.
New platform features
In addition to increased speed of pricing updates for the PV module market and general easy of use, Pulse promises a few key features as part of its new platform.
The platform’s solar module market pricing comes from listings from 40 different suppliers and over 1,000 monthly pricing quotes, and is refreshed continuously by the program. The program also includes a “searchable, market-wide directory” of suppliers, complete with company financials, contract terms, and other features.
Early reviews on the platform have been positive, with ForeFront Power sourcing manager Monica Carter saying the program gave her EPC team a leg up in trial and beta stages.
“Keeping leadership current on a market moving this fast usually means chasing supplier RFIs and patching together stale third-party reports,” she says. “What stood out about Anza Pulse is that it puts always-current, supplier pricing and policy intelligence in one place, the kind of view that lets a procurement team get ahead of decisions instead of reacting to them.”
Anza Pulse also provides real-time decision support for clients looking for an operating snapshot in a changing policy landscape. Tariff actions, FEOC rulings, and trade cases are all mapped to suppliers within the Pulse system, Anza representatives say.
