One option might be a smaller display, like https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-7-touchscreen-display-with-frame or https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/hdmi-8-lcd-screen-kit-1024x768 For power, how about batteries and solar charging? Perhaps a combination of this: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/lipo-shim with one or other of these: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/high-capacity-lithium-ion-battery-pack https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/lipo-battery-pack and a solar panel: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/adafruit-universal-usb-dc-solar-lithium-ion-polymer-charger-bq24074 There are also switch-mode converters if a stable 5V is hard to come by: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/wide-input-shim Going back to displays, those above require 5V so the RPi and display could be powered by the same source.
