How to connect solar power to house MAINS?

Hi all.

I wish to connect my solar set up to the mains of the house so that instead of having wires pinned up around the ceilings of each room from the inverters to wherever in the house the power is needed, I can just plug my things in like I usually would with bought electrics - into a hole in the wall. So I want to somehow connect my power to the same system as the power I would get if I bought it. HOWEVER, I do not wish to sell back the power I create and I do not want the option to buy it if the need be. I want nothing to do with the grid, but I want my power to run through the wires already in my house. (Sorry to repeat myself). Anybody have any ideas? If you know of a youtube video to assist please provide the link. Thanks.

    You will need storage. Batteries are typically your only real option.

    The inverter should be able to be grid tied, but you do not need to use the grid.

    Simply turn off the incoming breaker, or have the power company stop service.

    Then all the other wires in the house are already in place. If you ever move, then the house is ready for the next occupant to get power from the grid if they wish.
