SunWorks Inc (SUNWQ)

The company won't even bother to fix a grammatical error in their patent application (technically they have until 4-29-16 to fix it or file for an extension... I won't hold my breath). This shows how unserious they are about the cell, despite the fact that the CEO is STILL teasing investors with hopes of good news soon in conference calls and the cell remains on their website. They were happy to put out PR's when they filed the patent it as a way to legitimate their work on the cell and try to convince people it existed outside their own imaginations. They never spent any serious money on the cell (<$1M over several years for something they promised would change the economics of the energy industry), and this is the completely foreseeable result.



Apparently they were even unable to articulate what it was they actually invented! Proof:



Not to mention, even after you get past the grammar mistakes that alone would have gotten the patent rejected (and really, how can you get past such an amateurish error?), nearly the rest of the entire patent was rejected for being a copy of a German invention from 1992. It's not hard to see why, compare the two diagrams of the solar cells:



If the patent reviewer was correct in her assessment of the cell, then I think it essentially means Jim Nelson lied to you to take your money over the years. It wasn't just a rejection, but a humiliation. The application was extremely amateurish and almost every aspect of it was rejected at a fundamental level. You wouldn't thank a mugger for stealing your wallet, but many are still happy to sing the praises of a CEO who it now appears based on that patent review, has scammed you.


Low effort - poor results - no integrity. It's Solar3d!
