Solar and Starlink
 
Hi!
Opinions P-lease!

1. At home we have Starlink and it's pretty crap most of the time - the only time I get decent speads is off peak - however...what's the mobile Starlink like? Anyone with any experience?

2. Mobile solar: flexible panel mounted on the bonnet or trad fixed to the roofrack? 2-300W, MPPT and Lithium Iron Phosphate battery separate inverter?
Again, anyone with any experience/advice?

I heard of some of the flexible panels de-laminating when they get hot, so probably better off on the roof if that's practical ... they're really light though, so you can move them about as it's convenient. Modern solar is reeeealy good these days :)

No idea on Starlink, but then what are the alternatives? And what sort of bandwidth do you need on the road?
