I am brainstorming issues for a seastead design. Most of the outside of the seastead will be solar, as the electricity is needed to run propulsion and everything else. I am wondering if it would make sense to use some "solar roofing" system instead of separate roof and then solar. Are there solar roofing systems that could work in a marine environment? What do they cost per sq-meter? Is it usually cheaper than having a separate roofing and solar to have a combined system? How long do they last?
