  Five Trends in Energy I’ll Watch in 2023 They were: decarbonization; electric vehicles; hydrogen; infrastructure upgrades; and advanced digital technology/analytics. All these topics will continue to be important in the coming years, so I thought I’d share five different trends (maybe not top trends) that I plan to follow closely in 2023.  Extreme Heat and Wildfires Continue to Challenge This trend is really a subset of climate change, a topic that isn’t likely to disappear for decades, if ever.

A study published by the University of Vermont in December 2022 revealed that from 2010 to 2020, large numbers of Americans moved into regions where wildfires and extreme heat are common. These areas include Pacific Northwest, parts of the Southwest, Texas, Florida, and parts of the Southeast. While this increases wildfire threats for more people and businesses, it doesn’t mean...

  Tucson Electric Power Picks Solar FlexRack for 15 MW Community Solar Project in Arizona The Raptor Ridge community solar project is powered by bifacial solar modules and Solar FlexRack’s solar trackers, and is the latest addition to Tucson Electric Power’s GoSolar Home program  Solar FlexRack provided solutions and engineering expertise to Tucson Electric Power (TEP) for a community solar project in southern Arizona. TEP’s 15 MW Raptor Ridge solar array was commissioned this month at a 100-acre site in Tucson, Arizona. The project uses Solar FlexRack’s single-axis trackers to support 35,500 bifacial modules, which increase energy production by up to 30 percent compared to monofacial modules. The new array will supply power for the TEP GoSolar Home program, which provides a renewable energy option for renters and homeowners, including those whose rooftops are shaded by trees or nearby buildings. Participants can buy clean solar energy without installation or equipment mainten...
