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

                 The wrench list has some very creative thinkers that
        may have a
        go around to be able to master/slave an old Radian's output
        with a new
        one.   Outback says this is not do-able.   We're completely
        off-grid out
        here and have been charging EVs (one at a time) with an eleven
        year old
        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??
