PV systems can be configured to power some or all of your house if there's a power failure. It's known as switching to island mode. Standard equipment is now available to do this. The most critical part is the automatic switch that guarantees that the inverter can be isolated from the incoming mains. As I noted earlier, there can be a problem with earthing and the wiring regs have been updated accordingly.
