They can but it is very unlikely, the system drains out when it's not in use so they aren't "full of water" that can freeze and burst the panels. The panels themselves are generally made of a polymer that doesn't freeze until it reaches VERY low temperatures around -110 F. If the system is in use then the moving water combined with the solar heat will keep them from freezing, depending on your climate and the type of pool heater used there are other solutions to prevent freezing as well.
