Starlink Installation: Your Next Service Line
Starlink installation is low-voltage work you already know — mounting, cable routing, grounding, network setup. No vendor certification exists in the EU, so workmanship is what sets you apart.
How the job breaks down
Site survey
Check the sky view for obstructions and pick the mount location before you touch a drill.
Mount & route
Fix the mount, run cable through a sealed wall entry, and keep runs free of kinks.
Ground & protect
Bond the mount to earth and add surge protection on the feed before power-up.
Network setup
Configure the router, extend with mesh units where needed, and hand over a working link.
Why this fits your business
Real-world throughput
Typical European Starlink installs deliver 200–350 Mb/s down with 20–60 ms latency — numbers worth mentioning to the customer.
Low-voltage, not new territory
Mounting, sealed cable entry, grounding and network setup are skills you already use daily.
No certification barrier
No vendor certification exists or is required in the EU, so quality of work is what wins repeat business.
Field failures become callbacks
Obstruction, unsealed entries and kinked cables are the most common issues — each one is a paid service call.
Clear upsell path
CCTV over Starlink, UPS backup and smart-home integration extend the job well past the initial install.
Components ready to ship
PanelCraft stocks the mounts, SPDs, adapters and cable management the job needs, EU-wide.
