With FastTrack by OneEthos, businesses can receive instant credit approvals - offering consumer-based underwriting of the business owner for commercial solar projects up to $350,000 - through a soft credit check that doesn't impact their credit score. The product is designed to simplify and accelerate the clean energy transition for businesses across the United States.
"FastTrack by OneEthos reflects our commitment to rewriting the script on small commercial solar. For years, industry leaders said commercial solar was too fragmented and too difficult to serve. We disagree. By combining speed and simplicity, FastTrack enables small businesses to invest in a sustainable future without needless headaches and frustrating paper chases. It's a win-win," said David Radzihovsky, Head of Growth, Commercial at OneEthos.
