Renewable energy resources are currently being developed by Indonesia. The government is also targeting an energy mix of 23% to achieve renewable energy by 2025. One of the renewable energies is Solar Photovoltaic Generation System. On the other hand, an industrial area is an area filled with factories that are large enough so that it has great potential to develop Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic with the advantage of reducing land investment costs without reducing the operational function of the factory. The purpose of this research is to simulate the technical and economic performance of a 200kWP Solar Photovoltaic On grid on the rooftop of a factory building using Helioscope software in an industrial area in West Java. The simulation result shows that the average values for Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), Electrical Energy Production, and Performance Ratio (PR) in one year are 138.2 kWh/m2, 21,977 kWh, and 78.06%. Meanwhile, the total Electrical Energy Production in one year is 263,723.6 kWh. The total investment value of the 200kWP Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic On grid on the factory building is 2,457,850,800 IDR. Based on the economic feasibility study, it can be concluded that the 200kWP Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic On grid on the factory building rooftop is economically feasible as long as the interest rates is less than 12.71% (Internal Rate of Return / IRR).
