GFCI not cooperating with me
I can't seem to get my outlets working that have the set and test buttons for GFCI... there's a red light that continues to blink very fast, and Inverter is on. I press the set button, nothing happens...

No, everything had been fine
Question, do the GFI’s trip when on inverter power only or when genny is running??...Try to exclude one or the other - either can be impacted by a nagging floating ground issue...
Also, If you have modest skills, inside the main breaker panel you’ll see a buss bar where all the return white neutrals connect to (i.e. the inbound whites). By disconnecting one neutral at a time (each time with power off), while resetting the GFI’s, then powering up the system again - this will one at a time help ferret out the actual source (whether circuit or appliance) that’s causing these nuisance faults..As previously mentioned, it could even be a water heater or refer element, or moisture in an exterior 120v receptacle ...
Good Luck,
