Panels are lighter and last longer than batteries so I personally would rather make electricity than cart it around. Besides, batteries will last longer (for me at least) if I have a panel anyway since the solar controllers do a better job of maintaining the batteries than my converter.

Why do you want an inverter? Do you have a generator? What electronics do you plan on running? How much juice are you expecting to use and how long do you want to stay out? All this is going to make a difference in what you need.
