ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 17, 2025 / OneEthos (www.oneethos.com) today announced the first-ever national loan solution designed and optimized for Tesla's industry-leading Solar Roof and Powerwall 3 technologies. The new partnership aims to drive millions of dollars in renewable energy investments by offering homeowners a simple, ethical financing solution.
"This is the perfect match: a combination of Tesla's industry-leading Solar Roof and renewable energy technology and OneEthos' innovative point-of-sale financing platform," said Marcio deOliveira, Founder and CEO of OneEthos. "We believe that solar roofs will eventually be more affordable than traditional roofs, will last longer and provide much-needed clean energy production to help meet the world's staggering energy demands for many years to come. Tesla's vision of building a world powered by solar energy, running on batteries and transported by electric vehicles is inevitable."
With this unique new loan, Tesla's national network of certified installers can utilize OneEthos point-of-sale technology. The platform provides immediate pass/fail approvals, competitive pricing, pipeline management and the ability to easily offer their customers this exciting Solar Roof financing program. And unlike other financing providers, OneEthos' all-digital financing process can be done on-site and takes just minutes - making it faster and easier for interested owners to install Tesla Solar Roof technology.
