| Abstract | Substantial technical progress has occurred in the area of polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic technologies based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CuInGaS/sub 2/, [CIGS]) in the past few years. We report here the many technical advances made in the area of materials research, device development, manufacturing technology, module and system deployment and testing, and early commercialization activities worldwide related to CdTe and CIGS products for specialty and power applications. Also, the various technical issues related to CdTe and CIS are elucidated. NREL scientists have achieved record total-area efficiency of 15.8% for a novel thin-film CdTe solar cell, and world-record total-area efficiency of 18.8% has been achieved fora thin-film CIGS, solar cell. Details of cell processing are given. World-record power output of 915 W and aperture-area efficiency of 10.6% have been achieved by BP Solar, Fairfield, California for a thin-film CdTe power module. Also, a world-record aperture-area conversion efficiency of 12.1% for a thin-film CIGSS power module fabricated by Siemens Solar Industries, Camarillo, California. Both efficiencies and power outputs have been independently confirmed by NRFL. |

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.
