OneEthos Acquires Bodhi to Drive Affordable Solar Installer Growth in the US

OneEthos acquires Bodhi to merge climate finance with AI-driven customer experience, offering US solar installers affordable financing and growth tools.

In a strategic move to transform the US climate finance landscape, OneEthos  - a financial technology company specializing in climate finance—has announced the acquisition of Bodhi, a customer experience platform providing SaaS products to solar installers across the country. Bodhi’s automation and AI tools help solar installers protect and grow their business through referrals and repeat customers. Over 500 installers comprise OneEthos’ network, while Bodhi has facilitated more than 30,000 solar installers.

Furthermore, the two companies would partner with an affiliate of Climate First Bank to provide affordable financing. Installers who commit to ethical solar financing and demonstrate interest in 30-year, no-dealer-free solar loans as an alternative to leases would be offered Bodhi at no cost. Additionally, reliable milestone payments backed by an FDIC-insured bank would be provided along with software that enhances customer experience to build trust, execute projects faster, engage customers, and drive sales through referrals and cross-sales. This is particularly important in an environment that is plagued with reputational damage for the residential solar sector due to unethical sales and financing practices. According to 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.”  

Moreover, this acquisition deal assumes significance when viewed in the context of Mercom’s Annual and Q4 2025 Solar Funding and &A report that established M&A activity being 17% higher year-over-year in 2025. CIO Bulletin views this development as bringing together solar financing and customer experience to offer installers a practical method to grow their business while delivering a better experience to homeowners.
