Does any one have any experience installing this or similar setup?
Thanks Al

Interesting Irony here. You are looking to use Renology which started just about 4 hours from my home, and I used Sterling Power Products, a short 2+45 from your home!
I have no information to share on Renology, although their products have a fine reputation. I did have an excellent experience with Sterling. Their web presence was helpful and questions I had were answered as I prepared for the purchase and install. I've tried to share my insallation on the forum. Perhaps this one might be addressing your question - in general - but not specifically for SOLAR?
I did use an MPPT Solar Charger on my sailboat and it was the best option for maximizing the solar to battery charging. [Though it was not a Renology - it was a compriable design.]
