16'x60' makes a nice size solar array that can shade your roof/ upper deck. If you tend to stop for a day or more after traveling to your next anchorage this might be enough to recharge a big battery bank. People do live off-grid with all of the modern gadgets, plus 40 milking machines on solar alone. Just takes money and room for the array.
