That's a pretty simplistic way of looking at your rights as a homeowner. Those rights are infringed continually by ordinance and laws. The laws regarding powering your house with grid-tied electrical power are there for a reason. If you pursue your intention of powering the grid with an installation that hurts another, there is recourse and deterrence from doing so.
I would discuss the issues with your local utility as they can spell out their relationship with the homeowner and your subsequent "rights".
