If we lose the patent in the US but get a patent in China, euro, etc. I'm assuming that we couldn't sell panels in the States without being subject to a lawsuit. Am I off base here?

Yes, I think you are. I am no patent lawyer by any means.. but the patent just means that the owner of the patent is the only one that can produce that product. Selling a product is different and not affected.

We already sell panels.. panels that are made by someone else. What would be the difference?

If we are granted a patent for a 3-D solar panel, then we would be the only company that could produce them.. and if they were any good we would have a 'monopoly' on them for the life of the patent. Other companies could not produce them because of it. At least not until the patent expired. But they could buy them from us and sell them to their customers.

However, having a patent and producing the product are also two different things. We could be granted the patent and still never even produce a single one. That costs a lot of money and we have been looking for a partner to produce these panels for a while now without much success.
