A little more background - first Solar City bought Silevo: http://www.solarcity.com/newsroom/press/solarcity-acquire-silevo
And then they partnered with Panasonic: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/Is-SolarCity-Abandoning-Silevos-High-Efficiency-PV-Technology

There is no sure thing when it comes to manufacturing in a commodity business like solar panels have become . . .

As for SunWorks - regardless of whether or not the cell works as promoted - their intent all along was licensing to existing manufacturers. The rejection of the U.S. patent and the low (or negative) margins for manufacturers producing modules makes it tough to generate any interest. In case you missed it, Sunworks made this point very clear in the 2016 Annual report released a month or two ago:

Technology and Intellectual Property

Generally, the solar installation business is not dependent on intellectual property. Research and development costs for the development of the 3D cell ended in 2016.

In 2015, we spent $53,000 for research and patent work for a 3-dimensional solar cell. As the price of existing solar modules has dropped, the risk and projected cost to further develop, test and manufacture the 3-dimensional cell is not justifiable. The Company received a patent for the 3-dimensional solar cell for China during 2016.
