I've got some old water heating solar panels on the roof of my house. We've been here for 5 years and they have never worked. We've called multiple companies to look at getting them going again but nobody was interested in it, and at this point I've lost interest in it too.
We've got a builder coming round in a couple of weeks to do some work on the roof which will involve scaffold (chimney repointing, dormer windows being reflashed). Whilst he's at that I'm wanting to get him to just remove the solar panels and make the roof good.
Will I be okay to just cut the pipes and cap them on the inside of the roof? That side of the hot water tank has been drained down for a significant length of time so I can't see any reason no to, but wanted to double check.
