  1. This table presents the lifetime net carbon emissions reduction potential of traded solar cells and modules over 30-year lifetime in six regions, the SSG scenario represents the substitution of solar photovoltaic (PV) power for local non-PV grid electricity, and the SST scenario represents the substitution of PV power for fossil fuel combustion or thermal power generation. ROW is the abbreviation for the rest of the world.
