Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Although the paper is reasonably good, English is very poor.

Kindly consider the following suggestions

In 53, you can state as solar PV application instead of renewable 

what do you mean my output power %

also state how the measured efficiency is 93% in detail

Comprehensive proofreading is absolutely mandatory, recent references can be added

Reviewer 2 Report

The presented work has not properly compared with the state of the art. Reference are few. No table of comparison to highlight and compare in any way the paper with other works in the literature.

Increase Fig. 10.
The latest figures (from 11 to 15) refer to scope screenshots. Although I appreciate such measurement results, the figured should be properly formatted. It is always better to acquire raw data (and not a screenshot) to have a proper x-y axis. The current axes do not report the scale and unit. Please properly format the measurement results.

Generally, I did not find any scientific novelty and interest in this paper.
It sounds more like a lab university activity (cascading and combining topologies) than a scientific paper.
