I have a first gen terminal, what real world load in watts are you seeing, assuming you've put it on a wattmeter and it's a v2 rectangular?

  About 25w-50w. Nothing really.

    Wow, so even in non-ideal conditions at mid-latitudes, a standard 250W 1m^2 solar panel with small battery could power the receiver. Nice.

    50W is not nothing when running off of batteries. It's not a lot on its own but it all adds up quick. 50W for Starlink, 20W for a laptop, add in lights, a fridge, phone, etc and suddenly it's more than you thought it'd be.
