| Abstract | Silicon Solar photovoltaic (PV) industry has maintained sustained growth rates over last 15 years and the future outlook appears to be even brighter considering continuously rising oil prices and ensuing environmental concerns. Most of this growth has been confined to economically advanced countries, tied to grid-connected applications based on government subsidies. In order to meet rising demands, the PV manufacturing sector has increasingly adopted automation to increase throughputs. This has come at the expense of very high capital equipment costs, which has significantly raised the entry barrier for new entrants into this critical industry. We investigate an alternate approach aimed at solar PV cost reduction by tailoring the technology to the socio-economic culture of the society. Such an approach must stress development of PV-based cottage industry. As the first step in this direction, we developed cottage-industry based business model aimed at manufacturing of 110 W PV modules in a pilot plan in Terengganu, Malaysia with an estimated capacity of ∼ 1 MW/year. Almost entire equipment and manufacturing processes were developed with process and performance yields comparable to any automated operation. Except for the laminator, all other equipment was manufactured in house. The solar cell and modules were purchased from vendors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
