If you use anything else on the circuit the power from the solar will just go directly into that device and bypass the wall wiring entirely.

There are a lot of circuits in the US that power multiple duplex outlets around a room. You could plug in a solar panel into one outlet and a load into another and they would be connected by a length of Romex in the walls.
