My article, titled "KEEPING TABS ON YOUR PV SYSTEM" has just been published in Home Power magazine, issue 139.
It's a survey of the products and technologies on the market for monitoring your home solar power and overall energy management, which fits in well with my job as the Monitoring Systems Engineer at REC Solar... You can go to the magazine's web site at http://homepower.com to view sample issues or subscribe to the digital or print editions.
If you have questions about solar power or your monitoring options, I can probably steer you in the right direction!

A fully clean Transmission
Four sessions and around ten hours later, the transmission case is clean enough to eat off. Compare the pictures here with the one I took when I pulled the transmission off the engine. It was coated in grime and under the grime was some patchy black paint. I don't think the paint is factory, so I went all the way down to fresh metal. I bought two wire bristle wheels at Lowe's and used them in my cordless drill. This was much more productive than the wire brush I used at the beginning. I posted a question on the 914EV forum about how I should treat the finished product. The consensus was to leave it bare or paint it silver metallic, so I sprayed with clear, hoping to avoid any oxidation and to set up a good base for the next time I want to clean.
