The nation’s growing solar industry is especially beneficial to homeowners in Arizona, where sunny days are the norm. Places like Phoenix and Yuma which average 300 or more sunny days every year are especially supportive of residential solar energy. Yet, even those locales sometimes have several days at a time when the sun does not shine. When those days happen, many people lose the full potential benefit of their residential solar systems , so they only get half of the potential benefit of a so

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
