Unless the inverters have specific provisions for parallel operation, the short answer is no. Absent specific provision to parallel them, there is no way to keep the frequency and phase of the two inverters
locked together. Bad things happen if the inverters are not in synch with each other.

can you elaborate on the "combine" aspect?

i.e. if you want to power two 100W loads, then two inverters are appropriate. OTOH, if you have one 200W load, and are thinking of wiring the outputs of the inverters in parallel, then the best case scenario is that you'll be replacing the fuses in the inverters. It's sort of like crossing the beams in the movie Ghostbusters.... :)
