In the wake of the continuing solar boom there is increasing evidence of people and companies pursuing fraudulent intentions in the market for photovoltaics. The strong pressure of demand tempts potential purchasers to ignore basic precautionary measures and to take incalculable risks.
We should like to inform you about the common methods of fraudsters and help you to protect yourself against financial loss.
Take a look at the Case Studies and learn how fraudsters have operated in specific cases. At the same time, we ask you to let us know about similar cases, so that fraudsters can be denied the opportunities they seek in the solar industry.
With the help of our Check List, examine whether you can trust the offers or proposals of a new business partner.
Let us show you how you can secure your business activities in future with the aid of simple measures.
Make use of our Hotline to check whether your new business partner has already made a bad impression elsewhere.
Fraudsters damage a whole industry!
