If the power grid goes down, do houses with rooftop solar panels still have power?

How long will solar panels provide power if the grid is down? Does the average home solar panel setup have the ability to store energy? School me on home solar panels, and their useage in an emergency situation.

If the solar panels are connected to the grid, then the home with the solar panels loses power too as it’s a safety issue for linesmen working on the lines.

If the solar panels are not grid connected then the house will still have power.
