Default dc to ac inverters and 220 volts

Is it possable to hook up two inverters, each 120 volts into my
household system to get 240 volts? I am running a lister 3 cyl 15kw
generator during the day and a 1500 watt inverter at night running off
batteries charged by the generator. I have most of the house hooked up
to one side of my breaker panel, and just the 220 hooked up to both
sides, when I switch over to inverter, I shut off the 220 breakers to
make sure I don't overload the inverter, tho I don't think having one
leg dead on the 220 would allow current to flow. don't know.. So, Can
I hook up one inverter to each side of my breaker box and use 220 to
run my well pump? If so, I can get some higher power inverters to do
that. I don't have the funds to get a pure sine wave 220 volt
inverter, so am stuck with the cheap 200.00 ones from coleman.
I thought about trying it, but don't want to fry the inverters and
than have to buy new ones.
Thanks for any info
