Approved Vendor List (AVL)
Climate First Bank requires that all solar panels, inverters, and battery storage used on financed projects come from brands on their Approved Vendor List. The AVL is enforced for any loan application submitted on or after April 15, 2026. Existing projects submitted before that date are not affected.
The full AVL can be found at www.oneethos.com/avl.
To request that a brand be added to the AVL, use the form at the link above. Allow up to 60 days for review. Brands that are currently in the review process will continue to be accepted during that period.
💡 Note: When submitting a loan application on or after April 15, 2026, the brand name for all solar panels, inverters, and battery storage must be included on the contract. Applications using brands not on the AVL will not be accepted.
Enerflo now also validates equipment compatibility against the AVL automatically. Panels, inverters, and batteries must be mapped to their corresponding Climate First Bank manufacturer values in equipment settings — unmapped or incompatible equipment will trigger a compatibility error when building the proposal. Contact Enerflo Support if you see this error.
Troubleshooting: Climate First Bank Missing or Unavailable in the Finance Dropdown
If Climate First Bank suddenly doesn't show up as a selectable financing option — or disappears after working on other deals — the most common cause is that a piece of equipment (panel, inverter, or battery) on the deal is not on Climate First's Approved Vendor List (AVL). This usually does not show an explicit "AVL" error; it just looks like the lender option is missing.
How to check:
Note the panel, inverter, and battery manufacturers used on the design.
Go to www.oneethos.com/avl and confirm each manufacturer is listed.
If a manufacturer is missing, that's why Climate First can't be mapped to this deal.
If a manufacturer isn't on the AVL:
Anyone can submit a request at the OneEthos AVL page above to have it added.
Until the brand is approved, Enerflo can't map that equipment to Climate First — Enerflo Support can't override this.
In the meantime, select an already-approved alternative to move the deal forward.
Smart Pulls Requirement
Unlike other integrated financiers, Smart Pulls must be enabled for the Climate First Bank integration to function. Smart Pulls run a soft credit check that helps pre-qualify the homeowner before the deal progresses, speeding up the approval process and flagging deals with poor credit or high debt-to-income ratios early.
If your org does not have Smart Pulls enabled, contact your Enerflo admin or Partner Success Manager.
💡 Note: Enabling Smart Pulls at the org level (Settings > Installer > Authorized Dealers > [org] > Integrations) is necessary but not always sufficient — the sales rep also needs a V2 role that includes the Smart Pull permission, or the Smart Pull section won't appear on their deals even with the org-level setting on. You can add this permission to your org's base role (to apply to everyone) or create a dedicated role for specific reps under Settings > Org > Roles. If Smart Pulls still isn't appearing on a deal after granting the permission, try changing the deal's template version and changing it back to force a refresh.
Sales Rep Credentials
Each sales rep assigned to a Climate First Bank deal must have a corresponding email in the OneEthos portal. If the email on the rep's Enerflo account differs from their OneEthos account, they will need to add the correct email in their integration settings:
Navigate to Settings > Org > Users and search for the rep.
Click into their profile and open the Integrations tab.
Locate the Climate First Bank settings and enter the correct email address.
