Investigation of Effective Factors on Vehicles Integrated Photovoltaic (VIPV) Performance: A Review
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The abstract of the review lacks the fundamental reason why the study is taken, and it contained not the inference from the study.
Introduction
1. In lines 25 to 27, what is the meaning of the incomplete statement, “and amount of direct carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels in the transportation industry in 2021 is about It has reached 7.65 gigatons?”
2. In lines 37 and 38, check, “this technology can significantly contribute developing of electric vehicle manufacturing technologies”
3. Authors must cite the statement, “this technology can significantly contribute developing of electric vehicle manufacturing technologies”
4. Why are the authors making claims without facts? Scientific writing must be backed with scientific evidence. Besides, what is the source of Figure 1?
5. What is the correlation of Figure 2 with this study?
6. In general, the point of discussion is not clear. The various sections in the paper are misleading. The language has serious issues.
7. Therefore, before going further in this review, the authors must address the abstract, modify the title, and critically analyze the parameters affecting vehicles integrating photovoltaics.
Very poor

Reviewer 2 Report
This study explores factors affecting the performance of Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaic (VIPV) systems. These factors, categorized into installation site, solar cell, and environmental conditions, play a crucial role. Solar cells with different shapes and materials can be integrated into various vehicle components. Notably, meteorological conditions and seasons influence the amount of radiation on different parts of the vehicle. For instance, the roof of a van may receive 1.09 to 3.85 times more radiation than its sides. This research paves the way for a potential revolution in transportation. The major part of the paper is good but there is still something needs to be optimized, especially the writing. I list my comments below.
1. Figure 2 is kind of confusing, may change to another color combination or a better explication to describe the relationship.
2. The main text didn’t mention the content in Figure 3a, what’s the reason to put the figure here?
3. The writing should be more scientific.
4. The logic flow needs to be improved. Maybe show up a logical transition flow at the beginning.
The writing is not very scientific, and some sentences may generate confusion.

Reviewer 3 Report
Minor Revision:
I reviewed the manuscript entitled: “Effective Parameters on Vehicles Integrated Photovoltaic (VIPV) Performance: A Review; In my opinion the manuscript is well written since it has described the importance of current state of research on the use Integrated Photovoltaic (VIPV) Performance. I recommend the manuscript may be accepted for publication after a minor revision.
Comment 1: In introduction section I suggest highlighting the important parameters that restrict the use photovoltaic.
Comment 2: In discussion section I suggest adding a chart or graph of different countries using vehicle with photovoltaic.
Comment 3. Author should also focus on using flexible solar panel rather than only silicon panels.
Comment 4: Is there any study that reveal the using photovoltaic reduce the fuel consumption? If then I would like to see some data regarding that.
Comment 5: There are several grammatical mistake and language errors that author need to proofread.
