A discharge pipe shouldn't be discharging on to a roof or into plastic guttering

the temperature and pressure relief discharge from an unvented cylinder can as long as its capable of withstanding the heat the water could be so a metal sheeted roof is fine
makes sense to elbow it down
I have seen a few discharging onto a flat felted roof.
It may not be strictly to the regs but its really safer because no one is going to be hanging around there.
In any case a flat roof can reach about 100C in the sun!
