Yes, absolutely. A rooftop solar system can easily operate a TV.
Modern TVs consume relatively little power:
Example
A 1 kW rooftop solar system can typically generate about 4–5 units (kWh) of electricity per day under good sunlight conditions. A TV using 100 watts for 5 hours consumes only 0.5 units (kWh), which is a small portion of the system's daily output.
Things to consider
Modern TVs consume relatively little power:
- LED TV (32–43 inch): approximately 30–100 watts
- Smart TV (50–65 inch): approximately 80–200 watts

A 1 kW rooftop solar system can typically generate about 4–5 units (kWh) of electricity per day under good sunlight conditions. A TV using 100 watts for 5 hours consumes only 0.5 units (kWh), which is a small portion of the system's daily output.
Things to consider
- Daytime use: The TV can run directly from solar-generated electricity.
- Nighttime use: You'll need grid power or a battery backup unless you have a solar battery storage system.
- On-grid systems: Excess solar power can be exported to the grid through net metering.
