$ 40 a month recommends that this Television is on a lot. It is your lifestyle to have it on regardless of whether anyone is watching? If so, changing that habit would be the biggest moneysaver.

Powering the Television from batteries would not be cost-effective given that you have grid electricity already. The kind of solar that might save money (and even then, depends on your location) would be grid-tied solar, that powers your home in general, and the Television as part of that. Grid-tied usually involves a huge up-front investment, which you get back after 5, 10, 15 or more years in saved electricity. You would need to check with some local solar installers if that is the route you want to take.

If your goal is to save money immediately, your only option is to conserve.

First of all what is the time duration will your Television be switched ‘ON’? This will determine the amount of Battery you need.
Secondly, what voltage your Television runs on? This will determine the DC to AC converter you need.
Thirdly, since you are running on battery, the size and output of the panel only matters in the amount of batteries you have and how fast you want to charge them. For my, I will advocate Solar Laminates instead of panels.

Answer by roderick_young
If your power costs 20 cents per kWh, then that means the Television consumes 40/0.2 = 800 kWh per month. That would mean that the Television is on for 2400 hours a month, which cannot be right, as there are only about 720 hours in a month. Maybe your electricity costs more, but even with the Television on 24/7, this doesn’t make sense.

That recommends to me that you are blaming the wrong thing – look for some other thing in your home hogging a lot of power. You can purchase a thing called a Kill-a-Watt meter to monitor how much an individual appliance is using. Or, the cowboy way is to just go to your service panel, flip breakers on and off one at a time, and see which one makes your electric meter slow down and speed up. Then find out what is on that circuit.

I’m a huge fan of solar, but do not want to see you waste your money when the problem can be solved by other means. Solar is great in the right location, but only after the home itself is made as efficient as possible first.

I have no idea what you just said.

Answer by NitroGen
You are saving more electricity by running the laptop instead of the Television This is due to how many watts are going to both the Television and the Laptop. The reason why the Laptop saves you electricity is the fact that you can put that on Power save mode. Most Televisions do not have a power save setting on it, many because most manufacturers assume you will simply turn it off when you are not watching it. The Television also eats up power when it is off as well, because it is not really off but in standby, extracting 2 watts of power.
