Starlink 110 or 12V

[JHC]

For the experts, my 310RL has the Super Solar system, 3 LifePO 100aH batteries, and an Onan 5.5 gen set. I have been reading up on my Starlink router and set up and came across where some folks buy a 12V conversion kit to power the Starlink router instead of powering off of 110V. So, when they are dry camping, their Starlink will be powered off of the batteries through the conversion kit.

If I am dry camping, running off the batteries (and the solar panels), wouldn't my converter (PD9345) and inverter (do I have one?) be running and supplying power to all of my outlets (including the 110V outlet in my passthrough)? Would I need a separate converter for my Starlink router of any other 110V component to operate?

It would be nice to have a power flow diagram to show what works when on shore, solar, or gen set. I did find out through running the generator, all three AC units work along with the refrigerator.

So, if you have super solar you would in fact have an inverter.
However, the super solar also uses additional equipment that limits/controls demands placed on the system.
I would suggest that you set up in your driveway for a dry camping senerio and use an outlet tester to see which outlet are “hot” during a dry camping senerio. This way you know for sure if you have the correct power available to you at the location you choose to mount your Starlink Equipment. The Super Solar system uses a power management system that can turn branch circuits on on off in a certain order based on the demand placed on the electrical system.

Thanks Bryan. I plan to do that.

Ii have a Starlink and it uses about 58 watts on average. I do a lot of dry camping and for reference I have 400 aH of LiPo and have yet to get under 70% at night. I did add 2 panels on the roof so I have 4 320 Watt panels.
If there was an issue with too much power use I might consider at 12 volt kit for the Starlink but it has not been an issue at all.

I just came across your post. I have a valor with the OTG solar package. I was thinking of adding 2 more 320 panels in parallel with the existing. Did you have to upgrade the cable going to the existing charger? And also did you upgraded the charger as well. I would like to add a inverter charger to be able to run some 120 and maybe an ac currently have 1 epoch 460 amp battery and looking to add another

I have each pair of panels running in series and joined with a y-connection to keep the amps at a reasonable level. The wire coming in is 8 awg and that is fine for running the panels in pairs. I did a complete upgrade of equipment along with the panel upgrade.

This is how it came out:
