An idea in the air maybe stupid but good ...
Since the barge will be stopped most of the time, there must be a way to take advantage of the current of the river or the river (although if it is on a channel the current must not be very powerful ... ) to add a few watts via a micro-turbine and / or a removable paddle wheel (to remove it when you are sailing), right?

I had also thought about it, but it is a little "limit" as a power, I think.
However, studying the energistro proposal should be considered for the long term
