If you have solar with a charge controller, I don't think you have any reason for concern.
You won't see voltages that should cause any concern from your alternator and won't from solar either - if you have a charge controller.
The problem that can result in higher voltages is mostly due to small solar installations where there is no controller. Even a small panel can generate consistent high voltages that can damage a battery (and certainly a high-efficiency compressor motor) if left unregulated.
Don't forget to report on your satisfaction with the Engel. One of there models is going into my boat late this spring and I'm always interested in first person feedback.
