Recent ARCS Events

At the forefront of solar technology, the Clean Energy Institute (CEI) is driving science, technology and people forward by focusing on solar generation, energy storage and systems integration. New technology seeks to harness two hours of sun to be stored, distributed and utilized by people when needed for an entire year. An important addition to the UW campus in 2013, and led by Daniel T. Schwartz, the Boeing-Sutter Professor of Chemical Engineering, the Institute’s faculty has attracted more than $30 million dollars and has the key support of Governor Jay Inslee and a range of diverse funding sources including core state funds, private gifts and industry and federal grants.
