Your question is very easy to answer. S3D acquired SUN not to stay afloat but to grow. Take a moment, and as yourself the question: would selling a business that brings 1 mil$/year for 1 million make sense? Not at all. They must have been shown info (that has not been made public yet), that justifies potential value in the stock options they will be receiving.

Furthermore, read between the lines... S3D is spending less on R&D. They are no longer at the Kodak facilities in Rochester, NY. This means that their testing was successful. They are now going to implement the know-how into a real life situation.

On top of that, cell production is not rocket science. S3D's technology adds 1 or 2 steps into the production phase. JN said that the cell will cost roughly 5% more than today's solar cells.

Finally, S3D will be flying under the radar with whichever company in Singapore they end up working with. S3D will bypass all kinds of tariffs implemented on chinese manufactured panels, and also have no additional duties in China... If I remember correctly the US imposed a 35% tariff on china-made cells.

Hope this clears some doubts you may have had about Solar3D.
