You probably already checked this, but have you made sure the transfer 
switch wasn't switched to bypass?  Also, you didn't mention the age of 
the system.  I've seen quite a few Outbacks requiring rebuilds at 9+ 
years.  Usually the control board, but the relays on the AC board can 
get cooked, if there are too many loads on backup, and of course the FET 
boards can go too.  I started changing all the boards and the fan too, 
as I've had to come back 6 months later to replace a different board or 
fan. Reminds me of rebuilt carburetors....
