Supply chain platform Anza is releasing three enhancements to its Solar Pro subscription — predicted quote, quarterly outlook and five-year monthly forecast. The new datasets give developers, IPPs, EPCs and utilities visibility into current and future solar panel pricing that helps with project prioritization and strategic planning.
The Predicted Quote feature is a feature that only Anza provides. It estimates the final negotiated price range for every module on the platform, using real-world, anonymized customer quotes and Anza’s supplier negotiation experience. Prices are shown as a 25th-75th percentile range and refreshed regularly, giving buyers a realistic view of what they can expect to pay.
The Quarterly Outlook feature provides 10 quarters (2.5 years) of supplier-provided module pricing in one table. It’s a new way for users to see this data in the platform, which previously had to be tied to a specific user project and its criteria. Users can sort, search and filter the data by technical, value and supply chain criteria, then click through to a specific module detail page.
The Five-Year Monthly Forecast uses Anza’s regularly updated platform pricing, negotiated pricing history and machine learning models to predict module prices up to five years out. This five-year forecast will help developers win utility PPAs, prioritize projects, plan market strategies and choose the right products for future projects and interconnection applications. It will help IPPs make module price monitoring and reporting much more efficient.
“Anza has always provided our clients with the most current module pricing database,” said Mike Hall, CEO and co-founder of Anza. “Our new Predicted Quote feature takes this database to the next level, offering the industry’s only dataset that estimates negotiated final prices to give customers a decisive edge in winning projects and securing better deals. Together with these other new enhancements to our Solar Pro subscription, we’re helping our customers make smarter strategic decisions.
These platform features are part of Anza’s Solar Pro subscription package and will be showcased at RE+ 2025.
