Inverters are the most electronically complex component and thus are a likely failure point, meaning that investing in a quality inverter is a wise choice. If the inverter in a system that is built around AC fails, then the system will stop functioning completely. For this reason, many system designers of small off-grid systems choose to incorporate DC lighting or a DC-based refrigerator into a system to offer the a more robust system that will continue to provide these basic functions even in the event of an inverter failure.
