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.

Researchers in India have developed a reusable tin-modified carbon nanotube gel that reduces solar cell operating temperatures by 9.5 C and improves power conversion efficiency. The gel maintained its cooling performance after 40 days of testing and could be reused following a simple water-soaking process.

Researchers in Iran have found that wavy copper cooling tubes can improve the electrical and thermal efficiency of photovoltaic-thermal collectors. The best-performing configuration achieved an electrical efficiency of 13.65% and a thermal efficiency of approximately 24%.
Swedish researchers have assessed how climate change could affect PV generation across Sweden through 2100, accounting for temperature, snowfall and solar radiation. Their findings suggest that climate change could boost PV output by around 5%, although impacts vary by location and emissions scenario.

A research team has built a fixed-speed flywheel prototype that uses a wire-rope mechanism to move weights inward and outward during discharge and charge. The system briefly supplied power to the electrical supply, but steady-state losses prevented net electrical energy discharge over the complete operation.
Scientists combined aluminum magnetic shielding with zone-specific current control to reduce uneven heating in an induction-powered PV laminator. A full-scale prototype achieved a temperature spread of approximately 3.1 C across 13 monitored locations.
Researchers have used room-temperature reactive plasma deposition to produce indium-free transparent electrodes for silicon heterojunction solar cells. Optimizing the oxygen content during deposition enabled a conversion efficiency of 24.92%, with silver-coated copper contacts.
