Abstract (2. Language): 
In this study, an attempt was made to optimize the default parameters in various experiments to improve the performance and heat transfer properties of the flat plate solar collector using the Taguchi method. An experimental investigation was carried out using air as working fluid at certain speeds (3.3, 3.9 & 4.5 m/s) on a PV/T collector. In this study, experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of heat transfer characteristics on performance, and the results are evaluated, since the above parameters have a great effect on the performance and heat transfer properties of the flat plate solar collector. Test Design for experiments were the Taguchi L36 Orthogonal Array Design. Experiments were carried out using the results of the outlet temperature of the air, the electrical and thermal efficiency of the collector, and the design of experiments by Taguchi method. The Verification results showed a significant improvement in the performance characteristics of the flat plate solar collector. The obtained results were analyzed in the ANSYS fluent program.
