Large AC coupling is advanced and not recommended for your first attempt at a Victron system.

The essential first reading is here:

It is strongly recommended to get in touch with an experienced installer who has already done large AC systems successfully - https://www.victronenergy.com/where-to-buy

That appears to be a 3 phase PV inverter, you only mention using 3 parallel 8kVA Quattros. So that would not work. You could instead configure those Quattros as 3 phase, instead of parallel, and then it might work. I have no specific experience with that brand of PV inverter, and would stick to a brand of known compatibility until I was very confident in my skills and abilities with the equipment.
