Trying to reduce power consumption
In Installation Tips

Update: This article states that the best way to reduce the power consumption of Dishy (all three versions currently available) is to modify our behavior, vs a configuration setting or use of any products. "How to Minimize Your Power Consumption There are a variety of ways in which you can minimize the power consumption of your Starlink hardware. In late January, Starlink introduced a new feature called Sleep Schedule, which essentially allows you to put your dishy into sleep mode. I mostly put mine to sleep at nighttime. Users on Facebook and Reddit reported that power consumption during sleep mode drops to about 25 watts. Before the feature was introduced, the most commonly used method, especially for those traveling, was simply to unplug the hardware during times of inactivity. If you’re technical and experimental enough, then you can also purchase a DC PoE (Power Over Ethernet) injector for your dishy like this one here. Converting from AC to DC should allow you to cut your power consumption in half. However, you will be stripped of your warranty if you modify the hardware according to Starlink’s Terms of Service. I would personally and strongly advise against doing that, simply because voltages at the above-mentioned levels can be lethal. With that being said, leaving your dishy in sleep mode during nighttime and simply being cognizant of your usage should already help in reducing power consumption enough." https://starlinkinsider.com/starlink-power-consumption/
