Inverter/single house circuit tiein for very small systems?

Hello solar folks
I have a small wind gen (12v about 100w at 16 mph wind) and a couple of 110 watt solar panels. They work together thru blocking diodes to keep a battery charged to run the sump pump if need be thru an inverter and maybe some lights in an outage.
But i was thinking that there must be some type of small controller which i could connect to one of my house 120 circuits which has some phantom or small frequent loads so that whenever either the wind gen or the panels was producing and had charged the batt, they could then pick up whatever of the load of that 120 circuit they could handle. Would have to isolate the house circuit if mains were out tho. And would be small but i would feel better knowing they work for a living!
Must be something like this in small countries where the power gpes out a lot??
