These panels seem superfluous weight to me. I always thought ship engineering would be aiming to make a boat as light as possible. These panels seem superfluous weight to me.

I understand that this will be the norm in the future, but this does not appear to be enough solar panels to get the ferry moving very quickly. I understand that it has a carbon-energy based backup system, but why would an owner want to use the petroleum when he can use the sun and save money? Also, I do not like the comparison to the Prius. The Jetta, which runs on diesel, gets better mileage for the emissions it produces. How fast does the ferry go?

That boat looks like the sort of thing that springs to my mind when I think about clean energy and a high tech future. It gets full points for both energy production and for style.
