If I remember correctly, in order to use one's inverter, one has to turn off/unplug from shore power. With that in mind, I don't think that one replaces a converter with an inverter. If you were getting power only from solar panels, the inverter can be used, but not all appliances (air conditioners) can be operated by the inverter.

Then again, I'm not an electrician, so I really can't be sure.
