Sunreef 80 Eco Catamaran, covered in solar cells

[Michigan_Eric]

Any thoughts about this monster 80' catamaran? It's covered with 160 square meters of PV solar cells generating, at peak, 34 kW. Needless to say, typical output will be less than that, but still.

On the one hand, you might as well maximize your solar, but on the other, there must be a point of diminishing returns here. I'm sure the air conditioning pulls at least 10 kW, especially due to the heat gain from the dark color.
