On a solar ship - you generate 4MW of solar power from panels at 20% efficiency - using the surface area of the largest container ship.

4000kW. $400/kw. 1.6M for the panel.

Cargo ship uses 16 tons of fuel per hour. Fuel cost is $300/ton. $38M/year in fuel.

About 8000 hours per year. 16x300x8000=

A typical ship has a 9 MW power use.

Thus solar powered cont
