Not enough data
Lior Kahana's articles predominantly focus on scientific and energy themes, particularly within the solar energy and photovoltaic technology sectors. It is apparent that Lior heavily relies on data and press releases for coverage.
Given the technical nature of Lior's coverage, he would likely be receptive to pitches from experts in these fields who have access to or can provide new research findings, industry-specific data, or innovative technological advancements related to solar energy, photovoltaic technology, renewable energy sources, heat pumps and energy efficiency.
As most of the articles are based on industry-specific data and private sector announcements with a scientific theme, subject matter experts with insights into recent developments or studies within these domains could capture his interest.

Austrian researchers have developed an optimization framework that accounts for part-load efficiency when sizing and operating heat pumps, enabling more realistic system planning. A case study in Innsbruck found the approach could cut electricity consumption by 4.5% and annual costs by 2.9%, while relaxed formulations significantly reduced computation times.
The V2X DC Charger has up to 22 kW of DC charging power. It features IP65 protection and IK10 impact protection.
Researchers in Iran have developed an interpretable artificial neural network to predict the uplift capacity of driven steel piles used in utility-scale PV projects. The model achieved a mean absolute percentage error of 7.63%, with pile penetration rate and soil friction angle emerging as the most influential predictors.

Chinese researchers have developed a two-step process to recycle waste TPT solar backsheets into hierarchical porous carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. The resulting material achieved a specific capacitance of 469 F/g and retained 92.4% of its initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles.
Chinese researchers have developed an iron-mediated strategy that improves the reversibility and stability of lattice-oxygen redox reactions in sodium-ion battery cathodes. A 15.8 Ah pouch cell using the cathode achieved an energy density of 206 Wh/kg, with lattice-oxygen redox reversibility reaching 99%.
GoSun and Moonrider have launched a 27 hp electric tractor powered by a 24 kWh LFP battery, with optional 1.1 kW solar charging. The four-wheel-drive tractor offers about five hours of runtime and features a 750 kg hitch lift capacity, rear PTO and connected functions.
