This false advertising purely relates to panel sizes, and claiming that a panel is rated to a higher wattage than what it actually is.

It is absolutely impossible to contact Craig Solar by Amazon, EBAY (too many messages sent) or on the CS website. The E Mail showing on Trust Pilot is also not recognized. As there is a disparity between Amazon and website listings for what PVs are on offer, I simply wanted to check that what was shown if what is delivered, as one customer ...
