 Victron is not compatible with the Cegasa high voltage configuration where battery voltage is increased beyond 48V nominal. The Cegasa eBick 280 Pro product documentation mentions up 2-3 MWh capacity, this is due to the ability of the eBick 280 Pro to be able to be installed in series as well as parallel, HOWEVER Victron systems do NOT support the series connection configuration, hence the lower max 18 module capacity limit. Victron is not compatible with the Cegasa high voltage configuration where battery voltage is increased beyond 48V nominal.
