Is this power in or power out? Generally the stripe is common or -ve, neutral etc.
If output, just measure it.
More details on the inverter???

Unfortunately there is no defined standard except:-
For AC inputs supplies, the stripe refers to the Neutral conductor,
When used on the DC side (output) , but ironically many specify the stripe as positive when used on the DC side.

hi,
All the cables of that colour and white stripe tracer I have seen/used, the white stripe is the positive lead.

I would connect the white stripe to positive.

The white for positive is generally (but not always) on DC low voltage conductors, if AC then neutral.
https://www.ecmweb.com/national-ele.../code-qa-identification-of-circuit-conductors
The use of alternating current means that power cords have "hot" and "neutral" wires, rather than "positive" and "negative.
" If you have a polarized appliance cord, the neutral wire is identified by a white stripe, ribbing or white insulation.
