Solar is not that efficient. They will gain a extra mile. Whoop Dee doo.

Might be enough to run the compressor if it’s a reefer.

6500sq-ft is needed for 100kw a trailer is 450. A reefer is probably more like 150kw and needs to be able to run all day some times. Just wouldn’t work at all. Especially if you had to carry around the batteries it would just be way too heavy.
