In 2015 the United Nations (UN) held a convention which was attended by 196 countries including Indonesia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which was called the Paris Agreement. The convention results estimate that CO2 emissions must be reduced by 3.5% annually until 2050. The development of the technology and policies related to PV mini-grid has created a very large market in Indonesia. The target of 1 GW of rooftop PV mini-grid, using both the Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) and Building-Applied Photovoltaic (BAPV) concepts is very attractive. This proposal shows that a factory building that uses the BIPV concept will be more efficient and more profitable than using the BAPV concept because it can maximize the available space. The result is that the BIPV system produces 1,237.04 MWh of energy while the BAPV system only produces 832.80 MWh of energy in the first year. From a financial perspective, the BIPV system requires a capital expenditure (CAPEX) of 14.09% greater than the BAPV system. But the BIPV system has a payback period of 3.04 years faster and has a cumulative income over 25 years of system life that is 81.84% greater than the BAPV system. In terms of reducing carbon footprint, the BIPV system can reduce 23,175 tons of CO2, while for the BAPV system it is only 15,602 tons of CO2.
