ABSTRACT
Catering trailers are small gastronomic points that sell food in unusual, remote locations
where access to the power grid is difficult or impossible. Therefore, owners are forced
to use a separate energy source to ensure continuity of operation of specialized equipment.
The article presents the concept of a photovoltaic installation with an energy storage system
in batteries, which is an alternative to traditional combustion generators. On the basis of
the adopted assumptions, the daily demand for electricity in the trailer was determined,
the elements of the installation were selected and a simple payback time was determined
based on investment costs. The environmental aspects were indicated, as well.
