Re-posting this for the worriers...
My earlier post from Feb:
I spent the last hour re-reading the entirety of the Solar3d News releases on their website:
http://www.solar3d.com/view_news.php

At first I started to get that sinking feeling when I started back in the 2010 area and it seemed like it was a lot of the same as the recent articles, but then I started moving forward and actually realized the new breakthroughs along the way. It's a fabulous way to catch up and feel how far they have come from the beginning.
At this point I think the most pertinent article is the 2014 Annual Plan:
http://www.solar3d.com/view_news.php?Id=72

This clearly states their intentions for the year. One serious concern I had was how many iterations there were and how many there could be... (imagine- oh wait another breakthrough and so another two years of R&D to get to market) - but no, this clearly states "final lab-based, third generation prototype of the Solar3D Cell".
Here is the 2014 plan in short directly from the press release:

The Company’s plan for the solar cell side of its business includes:
1. Complete the final lab-based, third generation prototype of the Solar3D Cell.
2. Retain a “lab-to-fab” partner that will produce a manufacturing prototype and pilot manufacturing run.
3. Select a manufacturing partner to produce and distribute the new product.
The plan for the Company’s proposed solar systems business includes:
1. Close the SUNworks transaction in January.
2. Grow SUNworks organically to dramatically increase sales and earnings in 2014.
3. Identify additional acquisition targets to add to the SUNworks group.

I like that it says "the final" I also like that it states the Lab to Fab partner will be producing the manufacturing prototype as well as the pilot run. So I don't see a large lag time between the manufacturing prototype and the prototype run.
