Solar hot water panel replacement.

upon arrival at the property I have inspected the hot water solar set up on the hot water solar panel on the roof. The custom er had isolated the water to the panels as it was leaking out. When I was on the roof I turn t he water back on so I could see exactly where the water was bursting from. It was then that I saw the water was coming from inside the panel. This is because there was no anti frost valve installed which has failed to stop the panels from freezing overnight which with contraction and expansion has then burst inside the unit.
The only way to fix this is to replace entire panel as you cannot replace the copper workings inside the panel. Both panels w ill need replacing
