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.
seems like they could make that a solar panel and a flat battery at the same time as being a sail
Making it a battery would likely add a lot of weight while taking away structural integrity.
