Due to the low gravity and the very very low friction, you wouldn't want to build anything to heavy or you wouldn't be able to stop or turn.

We have a paper discussing power on our website http://www.umrover.org/reports/ .  Basically current fuel cell technology is a little big, but in 10 years it should be fine.  The problem is heat disapation.  The rover is too hot on mars!  We also have a thermo report discussing this.  Its very important and fascinating finding.
