OneEthos, a financial technology company specializing in climate finance in the U.S., has acquired Bodhi, a solar customer experience platform whose automation and AI tools help solar installers grow their business through referrals and repeat customers.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed by the companies.
OneEthos has over 500 approved installer partners in its network, while Bodhi has facilitated more than 30,000 solar installers. Together, the companies seek to provide U.S. solar installers with a platform to expand in a more demanding market.
“Climate First Bank pioneered a model focused on true affordability, offering 30-year, no-dealer-fee solar loans that do not depend on tax incentives and, in many cases, are more affordable than leases while enabling full customer ownership,” said Marcio deOliveira, CEO of OneEthos. “The acquisition of Bodhi® helps us continue – and expand – that mission. We remain committed to investing in technology and actively hiring to scale our team, improving speed of service while delivering ethical, consumer-focused solutions that align with consumer protection controls, build trust, and support long-term growth.”
In partnership with an affiliate of Climate First Bank, OneEthos, and Bodhi will together provide affordable financing. As per the company, Bodhi will be available at no cost to installers who are committed to ethical solar financing and are interested in 30-year, no-dealer-fee solar loans as an alternative to leases, allowing customers to gain immediate ownership while keeping costs affordable.
“Residential solar still needs to grow exponentially, and that will only happen if our industry keeps earning more trust from homeowners at every step,” said Scott Nguyen, CEO and founder of Bodhi®. “Installers need new kinds of partnerships that help them win with both economics and execution. OneEthos allows us to do just that. Bringing together solar financing and customer experience is a practical way to help more installers grow while delivering a better experience for homeowners.”
According to Mercom’s Annual and Q4 2025 Solar Funding and M&A report, M&A activity was 17% higher year-over-year in 2025, with 96 corporate M&A transactions compared to 82 in 2024.
