Anza Launches New Software to Empower Solar Developers to Save Time, Navigate Complex Supply Chains, and Increase Project Profits

Published

on

Module buyers & developers can instantly optimize project decisions with real-time pricing, technical data, risk analysis, and lifetime value comparisons through a single subscription

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Anza, a leading solar and energy storage supply chain platform, announced a new product and subscription offering only available through Anza that provides developers, IPPs, EPCs, utilities, investors, and independent engineers on-demand access to the solar industry’s most advanced real-time data and software platform. With access to data and insights of more than 95% of the U.S. module supply, solar module buyers and developers can easily minimize risk, save time, reduce lifetime project costs, and make optimal project decisions.

Anza’s subscription offering sets a new standard in the industry,” said Mike Hall, CEO of Anza. “Developers and those in charge of solar procurement no longer have to make assumptions based on outdated market pricing or unreliable forecasts. Instead, they gain access to the most robust and accurate pricing, comprehensive product information, and detailed supply chain data—all in one place, whenever they need. The long-tail impact is increased project profits and, ultimately, more solar projects getting funded and online.”

Rooted in the Solar Industry’s Most Pressing Needs

Despite the urgent need to launch new solar projects, developers frequently face weeks to months of back-and-forth with vendors just to determine the best module for their project. Additionally, during the development and procurement processes, they depend on costly and outdated supply chain and technical data that fail to keep pace with rapidly changing market conditions. This inefficiency wastes valuable time and forces buyers and developers to make critical decisions with outdated information, resulting in missed profit opportunities.

As the module market becomes more dynamic due to tariffs, product availability, and supply chain constraints, it’s more important than ever that developers have full line of sight into real-time data that can help them minimize risk and make optimal investment and purchasing decisions.

Mission-Critical Purchasing & Investment Decisions Made Confidently, In a Fraction of the Time

Powered by the solar industry’s largest and most robust module database, Anza’s new software and subscription offering enables developers and module buyers to access supplier pricing, product and counterparty data, technical specs, and downloadable documentation from 95% of the module market – all from a single easy-to-use online platform. Additional benefits of Anza’s subscription plans include:

Time savings: Users can view product options instantly. They gain the ability to compare and evaluate over 110 solar products in minutes. In addition, users gain access to vendor information and robust product document libraries.Risk Mitigation: Access to comprehensive risk data that constantly updates to help navigate tariffs, adapt to changes in regulations or designs, and pivot successfully when projects encounter late stage changes.Value creation: Ability to easily compare installation costs and production revenue for each module choice, and make decisions with modules ranked by lifetime value using Anza’s Effective Dollars per WattTM metric 

Anza’s new subscription product empowers users to confidently find modules that meet their price, production, and technological constraints, ensuring their projects are viable and profitable from the start.

Anza’s platform provides a complete market view and enables us to see modules ranked by total lifetime value, not just price,” said Greg Hering, CEO of ClearPath Energy. “This helps our team quickly identify value creation for all our projects under development.”

“Before Anza, we only had access to a few vendors,” said Jono Stevens, COO of Spreck Energy. “Now, with real-time pricing and expanded market access, we are confident we’re securing the best deals and taking advantage of volume discounts for our smaller projects.”

Anza will offer tiered subscription packages custom built to fit companies’ unique needs. Options range from packages designed to help teams with time-savings and project profits, to tiers that offer resource-constrained companies the ability to improve project outcomes with the support of Anza’s world-class procurement and engineering capabilities.

Strengthening Calgary’s workforce to deliver more homes

Published

on

By

CALGARY, AB, May 13, 2026 /CNW/ – In Budget 2025, we outlined our plan to build Canada Strong.

The Spring Economic Update 2026 is the next step in our plan to build Canada Strong for All.
It provides a clear update on the strength of Canada’s economy, giving Canadians confidence in our plan. It delivers targeted relief to make life more affordable, support workers and accelerate the construction of homes and major infrastructure. It also strengthens Canada’s competitiveness and economic growth while investing in strong, safe communities across the country.

Today, Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation, hosted a roundtable with local community housing partners to highlight housing measures from the Spring Economic Update 2026 that will help build more homes in Calgary by growing the skilled workforce, speeding up construction and supporting modern methods of construction.

The Spring Economic Update takes a practical, co-ordinated approach to housing, bringing together workforce investments and targeted measures to help projects move faster from planning to construction.

A cornerstone of this approach is $6 billion to recruit, train and hire skilled trades workers across Canada. These investments ensure communities have the electricians, carpenters, welders and construction workers needed to build homes for Canadians. This creates good-paying jobs and careers in the skilled trades as we push to build with more Canadian labour and materials.

We’re pairing workforce investments with targeted measures to move projects faster from financing to construction. The Spring Economic Update accelerates more than $7 billion in low-cost loans through the Apartment Construction Loan Program, supporting the construction of up to 16,500 new rental homes and helping bring much–needed supply to market sooner.

These efforts are reinforced by a $41.9-million investment over five years, starting in 2026–2027, to modernize and innovate Canada’s homebuilding system. This funding will streamline regulations and update National Model Codes in collaboration with provinces and territories — cutting red tape and eliminating duplicate inspections, as well as streamlining modular and factory–built housing. Together, in Alberta and across Canada, these measures also create the opportunity to build with materials that help grow our economy and support local jobs, like Canadian lumber, aluminum and steel.

Our new government is building a Canada that is not just strong, but good; not just prosperous, but fair; a Canada that is not just for some, most of the time, but for all, at all times. We’re building Canada strong, for all.

Quotes

“Solving Canada’s housing challenge means building faster — and that starts with up-skilling our workforce to deliver affordable new homes in Alberta and beyond. Through the Spring Economic Update, our government is investing so homes can move from planning to construction faster. Here in Calgary, these investments will help create good-paying jobs, strengthen our local economy and deliver the homes families need now and in the future.”

Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation

Quick Facts

The Spring Economic Update 2026 builds on recent action — including $1.7 billion through the Improving Housing Supply Act — to cut red tape, lower costs and speed up homebuilding.$41.9 million over five years (starting 2026–2027) will modernize homebuilding by streamlining regulations and National Model Codes; enabling faster approvals for modular and factory–built housing; accelerating adoption of innovative construction methods; and improving housing data to support faster delivery.The government intends to unlock financing for “missing middle” housing by expanding mortgage insurance for three– to eight–unit residential buildings, with a 30–day consultation to follow.Team Canada Strong will invest up to $6 billion over five years to grow the skilled trades workforce — supporting apprentices end–to–end and cutting the time to Red Seal certification by up to 50 percent.Working alongside a comprehensive suite of federal housing measures, Build Canada Homes is providing tailored support to quickly address varying housing needs across the country.

Ownwell and San Antonio Spurs Honor 2025-26 Community Champions and Expand Property Tax Education Across Bexar County

Published

Eight local heroes recognized at Frost Bank Center during a landmark Spurs season, as Ownwell deepens its commitment to San Antonio homeowners

SAN ANTONIO, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the San Antonio Spurs close out a strong season, finishing the 2025-26 regular season 62-20, capturing their first division title since 2017, and now competing in the NBA Playoffs, Ownwell is proud to announce the return of its Community Champions program for a second consecutive year in partnership with Spurs Sports & Entertainment.

This season, Ownwell and the Spurs honored eight extraordinary San Antonio residents whose dedication to their community exemplifies the same spirit of resilience and service the Silver and Black have always embodied. Community Champion Honorees were celebrated on the Frost Bank Center court during halftime at various Spurs home games, and each honoree received $1,000 toward their property tax bill, courtesy of Ownwell.

Meet the 2025-26 Ownwell Community Champions
This year’s honorees represent the full breadth of what it means to serve San Antonio, from first responders and educators to caregivers and coaches who refused to let their community down:

Christopher S. – A first responder with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, entering his fifth year of service, Christopher puts his life on the line daily to protect Bexar County residents.

Sabrina R. – A 911 operator for the City of San Antonio Police Department with nearly nine years of service, Sabrina is the calm voice in a crisis. She and her family also quietly feed the unhoused — modeling for her children the power of giving back.

Amanda G. – When a young teammate on her daughter’s basketball team tragically passed away, Amanda stepped up to coach five grieving girls, ages 7-9, through the remainder of the season. The team advanced all the way to the Spurs Youth Basketball League citywide championship, earning second place. A true testament to Amanda’s heart, leadership, and resilience.

Krystal A. – A hospice worker of extraordinary compassion, Krystal has walked alongside patients and their families during life’s most difficult transitions, earning the deep gratitude of those she serves.

Margaret B. – An educator at Brackenridge High School for over 13 years, Margaret provides high-quality art instruction in 3-D Design, sculpture, and ceramics. She also hosts a weekly art club and runs an annual art showcase that opens her classroom to the entire community.

Raymond G. – A Parks Operations Supervisor for the City of San Antonio, Raymond works behind the scenes to ensure that every park in the city is clean, safe, and welcoming for the families who depend on those spaces every day.

Heather G. – She dedicated the past year to caring for her brother as he battled stage 4 glioblastoma, supported their family through unimaginable hardship, and now continues to raise awareness for the disease in his memory following his passing in September 2025. Heather’s love and sacrifice reflect the quiet heroism that sustains entire families.

Pauline B. – A hospice worker of extraordinary compassion, Pauline has walked alongside patients and their families during life’s most difficult transitions, earning the deep gratitude of those she serves. Her story of service inspired a special additional honor from Ownwell this year (see below).

Partnership Rooted in Community Service
“The success of this partnership reflects a clear purpose to educate and empower local homeowners while recognizing the leaders who make our community stronger,” said Frank Miceli, chief commercial officer for Spurs Sports & Entertainment. “When we align around a shared mission like this, the results extend far beyond business—they’re felt in every neighborhood across San Antonio.”

The Spurs’ remarkable 2025-26 season, which included the franchise’s best-ever start at 5-0, an 11-game winning streak in February, and a Southwest Division championship, provided the perfect backdrop for a program built on recognizing extraordinary effort With this strong showing, the Spurs energy this season has been a rising tide lifting the entire city.

Closing the Property Tax Knowledge Gap in Bexar County
Alongside the Community Champions program, Ownwell continued to host free property tax education events across San Antonio throughout the 2025-26 season. These Lunch & Learn sessions empowered homeowners to understand how property appraisals work, when and how to file an appeal, and which exemptions may be available to them.

The need is significant. In 2025, more than 490,000 Bexar County homeowners did not protest their property tax assessments, a missed opportunity that Ownwell estimates could have collectively saved those residents more than $126.5 million. To date, Ownwell has helped reduce tax bills for more than 38,000 Bexar County properties, generating over $12 million in savings for local homeowners.

“Every homeowner in Texas deserves a fair shot at lowering their property tax bill,” said Sam Sosa, Senior Property Tax Manager at Ownwell. “Through these events and programs, we’ve helped thousands of families understand their rights and navigate the system with confidence. The Community Champions remind us why this work matters — these are real people, real neighbors, and real stories.”

What Homeowners Should Know
With the May 15th appeal deadline fast approaching, Ownwell encourages Texas homeowners to take action. Here are three key reminders:

Learn the process. Understanding your rights and how the property tax system works is the first step to saving money.Track your property value. Keep an eye on your annual appraisal and tax bill to spot unexpected changes. A lower assessment doesn’t mean it’s accurate.Get support. Whether it’s through Ownwell, your local appraisal district, or a legal professional, don’t hesitate to ask for help if your property valuation seems too high.
