Also:
1. Search the net for "Trace Microsine" you
will find much of what you need.
2. This is an exciting new product area which
is going through explosive growth.
3. Aside from the safety issues, there is
no legal requirement to get permission from the
power company unless you are feeding back more
in total than what you use. If it just supplements
your own power usage and is none of their business.
4. But remember many countries and councils
have strict laws on mains wiring and devices
that attach to the mains.
