What is claimed is: 1. An energy supply apparatus disposed at a location remote from power mains with at least one consumer, the energy supply apparatus comprising: a cylindrical housing; a photovoltaic system having a solar module; a generator unit; an electric energy store; a control unit having an input end connected to said solar module, said energy store and selectively with said generator unit; said control unit having an output end connected to said energy store and said consumer; a prismatic switchgear cabinet; said control unit and said energy store being physically accommodated in said prismatic switchgear cabinet; and, said generator unit, said prismatic switchgear cabinet and said consumer all being accommodated in said cylindrical housing. 2. The energy supply apparatus of claim 1, said cylindrical housing defining a cylindrical inner wall; said prismatic switchgear cabinet, said consumer and said generator unit on the one hand and said inner wall on the other hand conjointly defining a plurality of ventilating shafts communicating with the atmosphere. 3. The energy supply apparatus of claim 2, wherein said ventilating shafts are vertical ventilating shafts and said generator unit is a combustion engine having an electrical generator. 4. The energy supply apparatus of claim 2, wherein said generator unit is configured as a compact supply unit and said consumer is configured as a compact unit. 5. The energy supply apparatus of claim 3, the apparatus further comprising ventilators disposed in said ventilating shafts to provide forced air circulation. 6. The energy supply apparatus of claim 5, the apparatus further comprising a climatic system coupled to said ventilator to provide a constant temperature air circulation. 7. The energy supply apparatus of claim 2, wherein said cylindrical housing has a roof for covering said cylindrical housing; said roof having the shape of a beveled cylinder defining an inclined assembly surface having an elliptical shape; and, said solar module being placed on said elliptical surface and being attached thereto only from within said cylindrical housing. 8. The energy supply apparatus of claim 7, wherein said solar module has a form and size adapted to said assembly surface. 9. The energy supply apparatus of claim 7, further comprising an adaptor for connecting said roof to said cylindrical housing for rotating and/or pivoting at least a portion of said roof with said solar module. 10. An energy supply apparatus disposed at a location remote from power mains with at least one consumer, the energy supply apparatus comprising: an annular housing; a photovoltaic system having a solar module; a generator unit; an electric energy store; a control unit having an input end connected to said solar module, said energy store and selectively with said generator unit; said control unit having an output end connected to said energy store and said consumer; a prismatic switchgear cabinet; said control unit and said energy store being physically accommodated in said prismatic switchgear cabinet; said generator unit, said prismatic switchgear cabinet and said consumer all being accommodated in said annular housing; said annular housing defining an annular inner wall; and, said prismatic switchgear cabinet, said consumer and said generator unit on the one hand and said annular inner wall on the other hand conjointly defining a plurality of ventilating shafts communicating with the atmosphere.
