Normally, this signals a problem with pollination. The high heat and humidity in many parts of the country has been affecting pollination. Or, it could be plant pollinators are having trouble getting to the plants. Peppers and tomatoes are identical in how they pollinate so you can use the information in this article to hand pollinate the flowers:
