Operate Starlink Internet directly by 12v

It is well known that you can now save electricity by deactivating the heating of the satellite dish. But the approximately 80 watt average load in continuous operation pushes even a good power and solar setup to their limits.

Here are instructions on how the hunger for electricity can be reduced by around 50% through direct operation via the 12v on-board network and an alternative energy-saving Wifi router.

That too is for those with 8 hour days because of remote working or vlogging etc - still quite a respectable consumption, other consumers such as notebooks and possibly monitors - are always additional grateful electricity consumers.

We still have to wait ourselves, we were able to examine and test this setup with travel friends last week, but we ourselves will switch to Starlink from this summer (23).

Without remote working, 4G/5G/LTE would have been enough for us, but even with a premium provider, the Swiss Alpine regions, for example, are often simply too thin. Interruptions in video calls just don't go over well.
