Better yet, don't get an inverter at all. Arrange your solar panels to provide 110VDC. A wide variety of appliances will work just fine on this.

The inverter is an electronic circuit that converts the DC (Direct Current) voltage that you get from solar panels and batteries to AC (Alternating Current) that is used in most homes and businesses.
Most of the less expensive inverters simulate the sine wave of AC current with a modified square wave. They are suitable for most applications, but the power is electrically noisy. There are inverters available that put out a true sine wave. They can provide power that is "cleaner" than what you get off the power grid.

Some IC chips to convert your DC solar panel output into a square wave and a step-up ferrite core transformer to increase the voltage to 110V or whatever voltage you want, then some capacitors and coils to make your square wave sinusoidal. But buy your inverter ready-made. It won't cost much more and it will be far more efficient than anything you can make at home.

Switching to all DC use is the most efficient way to go. No inversion power losses, you still need the batteries and voltage regulators though. Most houses can be converted to DC use without rewiring, just changing the feeds and outlets, and many major appliances can now be bought for use with DC systems if they will not operate as previously well suggested.
