Component parts become unavailable, the engineering to make backward compatibles, the liability, and time spent in support can make a company unprofitable. Often the secondary market will step up if there is enough demand.

This is nothing new BTW. You have to be in business to do business. Shareholders insist on it!

Michael,

That's rather dis-heartening if boards are no longer available for a 10 year old product. Got a long day out of town today but will ruminate on responses.

I just pulled out an 8048 and replaced it with a 8048A due to the lack of AC boards for 8048s. I didn't know any better and put in a new 8048A board and learned the hard way that they aren't cross compatible. Smoked it. If you think you can find a board for it, it's yours.

Sorry if this is nonsense, but your existing Radian is your "AC grid source," It can act as the paralleling. AC coupling source. I did this about 20 to 30 years ago, using FX inverters, not Radians, to power a large motor. Can your Radian Mate 3 run in grid zero? Or if not, one inverter runs all the time as a grid source ( grid forming) the second inverter (grid following) runs in Grid-Zero mode, with "off-set" set at 30 Amps. If the load is less than 30 amps, the grid-following inverter carries the load. (The grid-forming inverter supplies the grid signal, and the following inverter carries the load.) When your load exceeds 30 amps, the extra current comes from the grid-forming inverter. The Radian can pass up to 50 or 60 amps from the forming inverter. You can get 50 to 60 amps to the load when you add the forming and following inverters. Errors: this will double your parasitic load, I have not done this so beware. This is not the answer for V2H; other inverters can work in this combination but

Radian (GS8048) for years but the Ford Lightning is on its way. Outback
says I can't add the newer GS8048A to exiting version (no "A").

Ideas??
