The idea is to move at a slow speed and the original 115hp diesel is likely adequate for which job it was designed. I would be more concerned about steerage than power as a single screw would be limited.
With the very limited information, I would suggest a dual motor capacity of 2 X 40kW or 2 X 60kW motors for the barge. If you would like to see what they might look like (they are also designed to be mounted in series):

if you do two of these types, you might consider using a saildrive option so that you would have reasonable steerage control:

(note that this unit is available at 96v and 60kW)
Do not know your usage but the idea of solar is always good. The use of a couple of genset with about a total of 50kW is likely necessary
