Does this mean if you have a main grid power outage the solar panel cannot provide your house with power either?

  Yes.

  Not necessarily, but most inverters (in Europe, at least) aren't designed to function without a grid anyway. Some models of inverter brands like Victron (which isn't very common outside its niche of self-sufficiency because they are rather expensive and sometimes complex) can form a micro-grid. They have the option of a special circuit breaker [1] that decouples the inverter from the grid if the grid is detected to be down, which allows their use during a power outage.

  Mine (Ecoflow Stream Ultra) has two 1200W regular sockets I can use while the grid down.
