Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
I received a very interesting article for review.
However, this article needs some tweaking in order for it to be well appreciated by its intended audience.
The whole article should be adapted to the "Energie" Template.
The title of the article and abstract should be thoroughly analyzed and adapted to the formal requirements of the Energies journal, with a clear indication of the subject of the study. The purpose of the work should be precise and consistent with the title, and the keywords are more specific to the article.
The summary is not clear. The abstract should be structured as follows: 1) Background - purpose of the study; 2) Methods; 3) Results - Findings and 4) Conclusions or Purpose: Design / Methodology / Approach: Conclusions: Practical Implications: Originality / Value.
The conclusion should effectively summarize the work done in the article.
References should be updated with reviewed and more up-to-date items, the quoted number of articles and other items is simply unacceptable because there are too few of them.
I hope all my comments will be helpful in preparing the final version of this article.
Good luck,
Reviewer

Reviewer 3 Report
The paper is addressing an important research topic which is the global PV trade. the paper is well written with nice conclusions.
- Authors need to update the paper and figures with new data from 2020 and 2021.
- the conclusion needs to be summarized into points to make it clearer to the reader.
- new reference needed (only one reference from 2021).
- section 4 ( all equations need a reference).
