If you're lucky, it's just the fuse that's gone. Many of these inverters have a rectifier diode connected after the fuse in parallel with the input supply (reverse biased, of course) and when connected in the wrong polarity, the diode shunts the current and hopefully blows up the fuse. Worse case, the diode fails short-circuit.

Can you send some close up photos of the board, top and bottom and mosfet so that members can help you identify parts.

Remember to discharge capacitor.
