That panel is small, and would take weeks to recharge a car battery, which is what you would need to drive the inverter. You would put the panel straight across the battery terminals, with the right polarity. Energy would be wasted in a charge controller at those levels.

Also remember that lead-acid batteries such as car batteries lose a lot of capacity at low temperatures. It might be more practical for you to bring a small gas-powered generator. Those little ones can run for hours on a gallon of gas.
