The problem is no different that that faced by the Mars Rovers....You have X amount of energy in from the sun on a good day, you set up an energy budget to use what you think you can and still leave enough in the bateries for a few bad days.

Inverter technology has gotten quite good. You can buy compter power supplies that are 85% efficient. If you are willing to pay more, they get more efficient.
