Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
The represented article is dedicated to the development of the electrical model of photovoltaic cells. It is written mostly in an understandable and good style of the English language. There is inevitable actuality for these models. However, there are some disadvantages and methodological shortcomings which should be eliminated to allow paper publication.
1. Since the manuscript claimed to be an Article, the Introduction should point out the novelty of the work.
2. It is not understandable why the reverse mode of a cell operation has been described in so detail?
3. Technical remarks:
a. The text should include short remembering of what are Q1 and Q2.
b. L.118. The order of citations is broken and after [23] goes [26,27].
4. Conclusions are written badly and should be reorganized. The expression: “The results of the analysis demonstrate how important it is to properly estimate the parameter when representing the entire I–V
curve, that is when both Q1 and Q2 are considered” is not applicable to the conclusions. Instead, authors should show what must be done exactly for the specific estimation of specific parameters. And, of cause, not to use some general vague expressions.
The manuscript can be published after eliminating pointed-out objections.
Best regards,
The reviewer

Reviewer 3 Report
In this manuscript, the authors presented an analysis study of electrical models using the single diode model, the Bishop model, and the Direct-Reverse model for photovoltaic cells under uniform or partial shading conditions. This work is organized well and described clearly. Accordingly, I would like to recommend this article to be published on Computation.
One comment I have is that the authors can have more discussion related to the difference between the experimental and estimated curves in Fig 6, 7, and 8 or how to further improve the difference.
