Yup to all, If the power stations stop working your solar panel still create electricty, but instead of it going back into the national grid and being wasted you would have a system where the soilar panels electricity charges a set of batteries, and its the batteries you use to provide power for your home.
If I remember correctly a simple switch is encorporated into the design to decide where the solar generated power goes, IE into the grid or into your batteries.
And the only stupid questions are the ones people dont ask
