Comments and Suggestions for Authors
The abstract need more work, it would be better to enhance the abstract by mentionning the outcomes of thus study.
the author states '' innovative methodology'', please explain its advantages.
The manuscript claimed superior performance in voltage regulation. Can the authors quantify this improvement? Highlighting the specific metrics used to assess performance would strengthen this claim.
please, expand more in the technologies of telecommunication, refers to recent papers (A Comprehensive Review of Architecture, Communication, and Cybersecurity in Networked Microgrid Systems).
the graphs need extensive work, the axis not clear.
please update figure 6 either (a) and (b).
expand and explain more about the methodology used, and the ineraction between Python and DSS.
Figure 10 not clear, add a legend
the results need more clarification especially, figure 12
it ould be beneficial if you discuss the scalabilite of this methodology, (more than 10 EV connected)

Comments and Suggestions for Authors
The idea for the paper is good, just some small suggestions:
- Please add more references for previous or related studies.
- Improve the picture quality as some of them are not readable or blurry on normal readability level.
- Please add more explanation to the case study and results.
- The conclusion need more detailed discussion and main takes from the research.

Reviewer 3 Report
Comments and Suggestions for Authors
Thank you for submitting your paper to Sensors. Here are a few suggestions to further increase the quality of the paper.
1）How does the placement of electric vehicle aggregators help manage the variability of photovoltaic generation in microgrids?
2）What are the key benefits of using multiple solar radiation sensors in managing electric vehicle charging stations in high photovoltaic variability areas?
3）How does the communication network architecture play a crucial role in the management of electric vehicle charging stations in microgrids with high photovoltaic variability?
4） Does the proposed methodology consider the actual charging station hardware characteristic in terms of increasing the system resilience and overall grid efficiency? For example, the magnetic component characteristic shown in [R1] and the charging infrastructure circuit topology shown in [R2].
