I, personally, prefer seeing an image of the actual technology that's being reported. Couldn't care less about the guy, who managed the engineers.

Yeah, a solar panel would make sense. It doesn't need to convey the entire content of the article.

A graph of efficiency record over time would also be a better thumbnail. Anything other than a random dude

I highly doubt they would share photos of the tech, it seems like pretty valuable IP
