Actually SLTD has a patent-pending technology for "their" Solar Cell.

The Georgia Tech Solar Cell was developed in 2007, but they have a different cell than Solar3D.

"Many other light-trapping concepts exist. Another that borrows the technology of optical fibers is a fiber-optic solar cell that Georgia Tech researchers have made by wrapping dye-sensitized solar cells around optical fibers. But, says Nelson, Solar3D’s cells use conventional silicon materials, so they could be produced on existing manufacturing equipment and be dropped into existing modules. "



It`s from a science article (2011),

Do we have 3D Solar Cells in Space right now? Look at the picture (especially the panels) of SpaceX Dragons mission to ISS.
