Suspect list:
Tripped circuit breaker main panel
Tripped circuit breaker sub-panel or on an INVERTER
Gripped GFCI
NOTE: The above are all #1.. IF GFCI tripped and will not reset then breakers are #1
And the last two:
Bad connection or
Broken wire (or bad) wire.
I have had all of these happen at one time or another here. The bad connection took a bit of tracking but anywhere flexible wire is wire-nutted to ROMEX (Solid wire) is a good suspect point. I have had two of those fail on me, When I fix 'em they do not fail again. One was the inverter output lead.
The bad wire was a 12 volt lead.
