I submitted Solar Energy on May 12th, 2023. It took over a month for the review process, and unfortunately, it was rejected by a reviewer who clearly did not understand the background of the article. This wasted a lot of time.

I decided to resubmit it to another journal, and to my surprise, it entered the "under review" stage just three days later. There were two reviewers who provided a total of 8 comments, all of which were very professional. After making the necessary revisions, the article was accepted without further delay. It was a great experience with this submission. This article was a pure simulation, and it took about two months to be accepted. Experimental articles usually get accepted even faster. I am very grateful for Aryasomayajula Subrahmanyam, Ph.D.'s thorough work and I wish the journal continued success!

Last year I got one article published, and this year I got another one published. I would like to express my special gratitude to Editor Zhang. After being rejected seven times in the first zone, I decided to submit to the second zone, thinking that this journal offers a high cost-performance ratio. The overall speed is much faster than last year. The review process took one month, with just a few questions, and after making the revisions, I waited for half a month before it was directly accepted. Once again, I would like to thank the Solnat journal, Editor Zhang, and the reviewers. I hope Solnat continues to thrive.
