| Abstract | The question “Can a residential photovoltaic system provide all of the elements that would qualify it for consideration as a component of a retiree's investment portfolio?” was raised during the $4^{th}$ World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy $Conversion^{1}$ and the 33 rd IEEE Photovoltaics Specialists $Conference.^{2}$ With the recent crash of the financial markets it has become clear that one of the best investments out there today to ensure that our aging population will have the electricity that they will need for their golden years is a home Photovoltaic generation system. The performance of such a photovoltaic generation system on the author's home has proven that such a system is an appropriate retirement investment capable of providing an income stream, which keeps pace with inflation for an indefinite period. An investment in residential photovoltaics will provide a reliable rate of return, immunity from inflation all tax-free for a retiree for life. This return is guaranteed by the rising of the sun each day and is not subject to the downturns in the financial markets as illustrated in Figure 1. |

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.
