  The author discusses solar energy extensively but fails to provide concrete insights on how it should be implemented to address Ghana's energy demands. The piece lacks specificity—while it mentions solar training, it does not clarify whether this training is meant for rooftop installations, utility-scale projects, or both.
  
  More critically, the article presents solar power as a blanket solution without detailing its practical integration into Ghana’s energy mix. Key questions remain unanswered:
  
  Should Ghana focus on mini-grids or embedded generation?
  
  If embedded generation, what percentage of installed capacity would be viable without destabilizing the grid?
  
  How and where should these solar systems be connected to the existing grid infrastructure?
  
  Is energy storage necessary to mitigate solar’s intermittency, and if not, how should grid operators manage its variability?
  
  Without addressing these technical and policy considerations, the article’s argument remains superficial. For future work, the author should conduct deeper research to provide actionable recommendations, ensuring the discussion is both relevant and useful for Ghana’s energy planning

  Great problem statement in the first paragraph. But you did not mention the stakeholder who mus execute renewable energy agenda
