Inverter with double input: 220 volt and pv panels

Is there an inverter that has double input and one output 220 volt?

The dual input is one for the photovoltaic panels (1 kWp) and one for
the grid 200 volt.

I am grid connected but have not a electricity meter that is able to
receive power but is able only to output power to my home.

If the outside grid is in maintenance and is insulate from the electric
power plant, the outside grid must be non electric connected to my
photovoltaic plant. Otherwise the maintenance men could be killed.

From your URL you're probably in Italy.

Is there an inverter that has double input and one output 220 volt?

The dual input is one for the photovoltaic panels (1 kWp) and one for the grid
200 volt.

I take it you mean - is there an inverter that has a solar array input, a 200V
grid power input and a separate 200V power output, rather than an inverter that
uses the 200v power out as the grid input sensor as well.

Try googling "solar inverters" to see if there's any out there. Read on
I am grid connected but have not a electricity meter that is able to receive
power but is able only to output power to my home.

Electricity meters don't receive or generate power, only measure it. I take it
you mean you don't have a meter that senses a reverse current (when your solar
array is generating more than your house is consuming)
If the outside grid is in maintenance and is insulate from the electric power
plant,

I hope you're referring to the inverter here, not a separate petrol/deisel
generator as "the electric power plant"

the outside grid must be non electric connected to my photovoltaic plant.
Otherwise the maintenance men could be killed.

Easiest thing to do here is turn off the DC circuit breakers between the array
and the inverter, if you're that worried

If the electricity regulations in your country are anything like ours (and it's
REALLY for protection or self-preservation of electricians), then your system
should be like this:

grid power in - main circuit breaker - Mains meter/house wiring - solar circuit
breaker - solar generator - DC circuit breakers - solar array.

If you really do have a grid connected system, then there's no problem.
If you lose grid power, the inverter will sense there's no grid power and
automatically stop producing any power at all. That's the way they're made.

It doesn't matter if the solar array is still producing power, it just doesn't
get converted to AC power (and the maintenance team are safe). Isolate the
array, too.

If you really worried about the maintenance team's safety, even though the
inverter isn't producing power, just turn the mains circuit breaker off!!

IF you don't have one (VERY ILLEGAL) then get one installed immediately.

on the other scenario I imagined (attaching a separate generator), once you've
turned the main circuit breaker off, turn the inverter CBs off as well.
THEN you can attach and run a separate petrol/deisel generator if you really
need power to your house.

If you want the inverter running with a separate generator, just make sure the
generator creates a pure sine wave out, and frequency locked.
Otherwise, you could destroy the solar inverter!!

(btw, attaching generators here in Australia is just a little bit naughty).

If you're after a system that changes over to a separate generator when power is
lost or maintenance is required, then you should really be using a stand-alone
system instead of a grid-locked system.

This will isolate the Grid power when it fails (or being worked on by
maintenance men), and _automatically_ switch over to your "electric power plant"
(if that is what you meant).
