These benefits extended beyond the importing states, with over 40% of air quality gains flowing to people elsewhere—residents in non-importing states also benefited from them.

Policy decisions about trade and supply chains must consider these broader societal impacts—not just economic metrics.

Our study shows that global clean energy supply chains don’t just cut costs—they deliver wide-reaching social environmental benefits: cleaner air, healthier communities, and emission mitigation toward decarbonization.

Key insights: Between our study period 2014–2022, imported solar photovoltaics
✅ Displaced 305 TWh of fossil fuel electricity
✅ Avoided 178 million tons of CO₂ emissions
✅ Prevented 595 premature deaths
✅ Delivered $28 billion in combined health and climate benefits ($180/kW annualized benefits)

We analyzed detailed PV shipment and power plant data across the U.S., using a reduced-complexity air quality model to track how solar energy displaced fossil fuels and improved air quality in different regions.
