Inverter ac output

I left my inverter connected to the ac power source overnight to charge my battery and supply power. Power from the ac dropped and went off and so did the inverter. In the morning, I tripped the inverter, it would not supply. The inverter only came on when the sun came up with the charger controller supplying power. Right now, the ac indicator light on the inverter (soccer power 2.5kva 24v) does not come on and the inverter does not output in ac mode. The body of the inverter also shocks. What happened and what can I do

    There are many possibilities when connected to grid power especially if there is no surge protection, the grid could have failed due to lightning, even if far away, is that a possibility and do you have surge protection?

    Soccer Power 2.5 kva 24V is what was stated in original post, seem like an inexpensive Asian brand.

    Sorry, never heard of that brand, and missed it in the OP as a result.
