Founded in December 1987 as the North Carolina Solar Center, the NC Clean Energy Technology Center has spent over three decades advancing clean energy solutions across North Carolina and beyond. What began with a focus on solar energy has grown into a comprehensive center of excellence covering a wide range of clean energy technologies.

The Center works collaboratively with government agencies, industry leaders, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations to promote the adoption and implementation of clean energy. As a recognized state agency, it plays a vital role in supporting North Carolina’s growing clean tech sector and is nationally regarded as a leading source of knowledge and expertise in the clean energy field.

Through its diverse programs and services, the Center empowers businesses, communities, and individuals to pursue clean energy strategies that foster economic growth, reduce reliance on foreign energy sources, and mitigate the environmental impacts of fossil fuels.
