Abstarct: The total cost of each industry is affected by factors such as market size, amount of investment, support of government institutions and technology development. The passage of time has caused public interest towards renewable energies and has increased the market and the amount of investment. In this regard, in this research, a laboratory investigation of a 5.26 watt solar panel with dimensions of 120*14 cm in three different modes has been done. The first state of the solar panel, the second state of the solar panel with the reflector and the third state of the solar panel with the reflector and the energy storage material are considered. The results of the tests show that using the third mode, the efficiency increases by about 2.6% compared to the first mode, which is very important for solar panels. On the other hand, the results show that the reflector plays a very important role in increasing the efficiency of the solar panel up to 6%. By adding the heat energy storage material, the surface of the solar panel is reduced, and by reducing the temperature of the surface of the panel, its performance improves. By using the third mode in the experiments and with the radiation of 790 watts per square meter, 17 watts can be achieved. Another important effect on the solar panel is the wind speed, which, by increasing the wind speed, plays the role of cooling the solar panel and improves its performance. The effect of wind speed is less compared to other parameters, and due to the different wind speeds, it is not possible to say exactly how much the power of the solar panel changes at which wind speeds.
