Is it ok to have PV system into shared (household) RCD?

[SparkySy]

The easiest and cheapest work round option from what I can see is to remove the right hand RCD and mcb's and replace those 3 with RCBO's then use the two slots from the RCD for the solar and charger so only costing you for 5 Hager rcbos. This would then solve the issue with the wrong MCB that has been fitted!
Personally I would do what @westward10 suggests earlier and replace the whole lot with a new SPD protected type A rcbo populated board with some spare ways in for future expansion!

On the subject of Hager RCBO's specifically for Solar PV, they are not bi-directional. Meaning they can not be reverse fed and shouldn't be used. I had this confirmed by Hager technical support.
For my solar install I am going to use a separate RCCB (RCD) and MCB specifically for the solar PV circuit.

Do you have any recommendations for RCCB and MCB combination and CUs that you would recommend in this situation?

As you can appreciate each setup is unique in what you need to specify for over current protection and whether RCD protection is required.

If you are unsure, you should seek the advice of a professional!

That said, if RCD protection is required you need to establish if there is simple separation between the AC and DC side of the inverter(s). If there is not, a Type B RCD will need to be specified to respond to DC currents >6ma.

The RCD will also need to be double pole, so that protection of the circuit is not reliant on the shutdown characteristics of the Inverter(s).

The manufacturer of the Inverter will be able to provide specifics on the inverter characteristics which will inform the protection required.

The solar setup I propose uses Enphase IQ7A microinverters. They do have separation between the AC and DC circuits.
So, 11 IQ7A inverters will need a 20A MCB and a 2P Type A RCCB. These will likely be Hager branded.

It is worth checking with the manufacturer of the devices to ensure they conform to the requirements of the instillation.

Indeed and I am, but a lot of electricians are not familiar with inverters either.

I have confirmed that there is some internal protection, the manufacturer states that IF an RCD is required then it should be Type A but with a higher trip current.

The RCD will also need to be double pole, so that protection of the circuit is not reliant on the shutdown characteristics of the Inverter(s).

I think I misunderstood your original comment that Hagar RCBO's were not suitable, I assumed you meant Hagar in general but I think you just meant their RCBOs.

The EVSE RCD must interrupt all live conductors, so a single module Hager RCBO won't meet that requirement.
