When a player gets a solo home run, do they get a RBI?
and if they get a 2-run home run, is that considered one or two RBIs?

Good question.
A run batted in results when an offensive player at bats does something that allows a run to score because of his performance.
That is why someone stealing home does no get a run batted in--he's not batting.
A solo home run allows someone to score, so the batter is credited with one run batted in.
With a two-run home run, someone had to be on base and the batter caused him to be able to score and himself, as in the first instance.
A three-run homer and a "grand slam" require two and three baserunners respectively; the three-run home runs gets the batter three rbis; the grand slam gets him four.

yes and yes, two rbi for a two run homer. Plus in each instance a player is credited with scoring a run. I believe I read somewhere that interestingly before 1920 or so in the event of a walk off home run (not that anyone used that term at the time) a batter would not get credit for the home run unless it was in fact a solo, he would only get credit for what it took to score the winning run so in a tie game with bases loaded for example the batter might homer but only get credit for a single and one rbi.

When a player hits a solo home-run...he gets one RBI for driving himself in, and a run for crossing home plate. If a man is on base and the player hits a homer...he gets 2 RBI's for driving himself and the baserunner in, but he still only gets one run for his own stats.

A solo homer means there was no one on base...just the batter scoring...Yes, it counts as an RBI...If they get a 2 run HR, that counts as 2 RBIs...

A solo homer is counted as one RBI because they batted in their own run. A 2-run homer is two RBI's because they batted themselves in and their teammate.

If it is a solo homerun the player is credited with one RBI and a homerun, if it is a two run homer the player gets credited with two RBI's and a homerun etc...

Solo HR= RBI
2-run HR= 2 RBI
That is part of what made Barry Bonds 137 RBI's in 2001 so inflated, 73 of them were himself.
