What you want is called a Grid tied system with battery back up, they tend to cost about 30-40% more then then a standard grid tied system due to the slightly more complex inverter and the battery bank, but you can buy everything off the shelf, there are inverters out there that are designed for exactly what you want to do already and are safe for everyone and are covered under your home owners insurance, as well as qualifying for public funding.
