Definitely not going to lease.

Perhaps I am missing something but if a house that is not even tied to the main grid can have a solar system powering their home, why cant a house that is tied to the grid work the same way but have a switch that cuts off power to the grid when main power fails. They do it for a generator, why not for solar?

This sounds more like a legal issue than a technical one.

It can be done but it is just more expensive. Grid tied inverter is cheap. You need a more expensive hybrid inverter to do what you want plus a automatic transfer switch. Any competent sale guy can explain all these to you.
