Do you have any measured stats on your Dishy's power consumption? I've read it's 90-100W nominal, which seems reasonable if you switch it off at night when not in use. Like other commenters, I've been also been thinking about off-grid home requirements.

Power use while transmitting goes up higher. I just run it on the grid. :/ Yes, it's 2kWh/day.
- madaxe_again 5y agoSeems reasonable until you realise an LTE router draws 1-2W. I live off grid, as do a number of friends. They all rushed out and got starlink as they were making do with bad LTE installs - and now can’t use it as it’s way outside of their energy budget. I won’t consider moving to it until we have hydropower and wind. It’s just too much power for a damn internet connection.
