Running 1st gen Starlink on DC appears to be a real pain. Looking for creative solutions to power Starlink more efficiently.

Remote site.

Have Cerbo, Quattro and MPPT operating on VRM. The idle draw and inefficiency at low power of the Quattro makes it less desirable.

The VE.Direct Phoenix 375VA unit seems ideal as a dedicated Starlink inverter.

Can the Cerbo connect to and manage/monitor both remotely via VRM or VC?
