your TV(television) is a 120v device - meaning that it requires 120v power to operate, and without Shore Power or the Generator power, it can't work.
Now, having said that, many of us have an INVERTER, which pulls batter power and changes it's 12v output to 120v power for the outlets(Televisions, satellite receivers, residential Fridge, device chargers, computers), etc.
Remember that 'SOLAR' is ONLY trickle charging your house Batteries, it does NOT provide any type of 'direct' power to anything, and, even if it 'did', it doesn't provide 120v power, and certainly NOT to your electrical main panel, where the outlets are wired. It is only to help charge the house battery(s).
