Nivo Solar

Do not seek a quote from Nivo Solar. The BBB record that carries the company website, mynivohome.com, the same domain as the Oklahoma City listing, belongs to a Houston entity that filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7, liquidation, on June 30, 2025, case 25-33752 in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. BBB has stopped rating it because the business has filed for bankruptcy and is seeking to dissolve. That Houston profile shows 56 complaints in the last 3 years with recent statuses Unanswered. Complaints filed from July through December 2025 say systems stopped producing and the warranty cannot be claimed because of the bankruptcy, that phones are disconnected or voicemail is full, that a roof leaks from installation damage, and that a promised buyback program never materialized. A liquidating company cannot honor a workmanship warranty. That alone ends the conversation.

The Oklahoma picture is murky, and murky is not a defense. Three separate BBB records exist under the Nivo name with three different start dates and different named principals: the bankrupt Houston entity, started October 26, 2020, with John Frampton listed as CEO; an Oklahoma City record, started January 3, 2022, rated C+ for failing to respond to its one complaint, an unanswered June 2025 billing dispute over a promised 100 percent utility offset; and a Yukon LLC, started April 12, 2023, rated A+ with Howard Bachman Jr as owner. No profile explains how the three relate, so the operating entity behind the Oklahoma City listing is genuinely unclear. When the site was read on the research date it still advertised service in six states; on a recheck the next day it sat behind a bot wall. Reviews on the Oklahoma City profile describe customers unreachable after install, elderly parents signed to a 30 year loan, and door-to-door harassment.

There is also a government enforcement record. In September 2024 the Arkansas Residential Contractors Committee found Nivo had been operating in Arkansas without a proper license, found it guilty, fined it $5,000, and ordered civil penalties. In February 2025 a Clark County, Arkansas lawsuit alleged violations of the Arkansas Home Solicitation Sales Act and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act over October 2023 door-to-door sales, with panels installed that the complaint says have not worked as promised. In Oklahoma, the CIB electrical roster, the licensing lane here since Oklahoma has no solar-specific license, contains no NIVO, no name containing SOLAR, and no Howard Bachman. The roster lists people rather than companies, so no license was found under the names checked, but a company already fined in another state for unlicensed work does not get the benefit of the doubt.

If Nivo installed your system, route equipment claims directly to the panel and inverter manufacturers, whose warranties survive an installer's bankruptcy, keep your contract and permit paperwork, and hire a currently licensed electrical contractor for service work. If someone selling under the Nivo name knocks on your door in Oklahoma, ask which legal entity is contracting, which electrician holds the CIB license for your permit, and who honors the warranty. The record above suggests you will not get clean answers.
