    Solar yes battery would be a problem from a weight stand point. That much weight that far out could cause acrwy things.

    In the other hand hard say of the solar would be that useful for the cost to install since there is no guarantee it would be facing the sun correctly. Creating a deck cover of solar though could be useful.

      I think these new fangled bendable solar panels might work. The bog thing to know is that cargo ships already are diesel-electric, so you can just immediately consume any generated electricity (reducing load on the engine and saving fuel).
