quality of electrical power here is questionable. power surges like the one you experienced normally blow out the first line of resistance within a residential electrical wiring.

you probably need to change the "card". (tarjeta)

If you heard a large bang when your inverter blew out, it will probably need a change of all of the power transistors, and perhaps other circuits cards as well. Hopefully, only the transistors.

I hope it's resolved by now, seeing as it happened over two weeks ago - note date of OP.
