My suspicion is that you will not be able to run a Mac SE for long off of 
your inverter.  The SE will probably consume as much as 1.5-2 amps, 
particularly if it has a hard drive in it.  Depending on your battery 
life, you will probably have to consider a means of turning the SE on and 
off.
 
I'm assuming you're looking to operate the SE remotely, rather than for 
personal use, but there is a device called a Mr. MOX, which will turn on 
a PC in response to a phone call. Then one can use a cellular phone modem 
(again run off the battery) to do this.  It's kind of expensive, but it 
does work fairly well.
