The BIPV system consists of 48 crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules in 4 rows and 12 columns and the total capacity is 7.44 kW<inf>p</inf>. We applied the specific exergy costing (SPECO) method to the BIPV system for the first time to the best of the authors’ knowledge. In this regard we briefly introduced the BIPV system in this study first. We then used the SPECO method for assessing the performance of the BIPV system. Exergetic costs associated with the generated electricity varied between 0.21 and 0.36 €/kWh<inf>ex</inf> for the selected days with an average exergetic cost of 0.368 €/kWh<inf>ex</inf> for the whole year. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
