South Korea is planning a massive expansion of solar panels mounted on industrial rooftops and parking lots as it seeks to overcome land constraints slowing its clean energy transition.

The Asian nation seeks to add a total of 4 gigawatts of solar power in industrial complexes in the city of Daegu and north Gyeongsang province, the energy ministry said in a statement. That would be almost quadruple the total of 1.1 gigawatts of solar power from factory areas around the country currently, according to the statement.
