Hi, I have a Mains AC 251v to 220v transformer connected to my house.
I am thinking of installing a solar power grind in system rated at 240v output.
What would happen to my mains transformer if i connect the 240v supply to the secondary side at 220v of my wiring therefore having 2 different voltages on the secondary and at the same time using my mains transformer as a step up and down at the same time.
Am just not to sure!

Don't mix voltages, and don't DIY.

Hire a licensed electrician, and discuss the matter with the utility which supplies one's home.
