Yes one can paint plastic tubes associated to solar heating exchangers on the roof, usually that requires a ladder with a decent length enough to reach the roof, in the case of a tower block, access to the top parts of the tower. Plastic tubes benefit from application of a poly vinyl paint of the PVC type. Care to ensure that the plastic is not hostile to the solvent in the paint, such that the plastic dissolves. Normal paint such as household emulsion and oil gloss can also be used but due to the exposure of the pipes to environmental factors, you will probably find the paint peeling in due course with heat sand dust abrasions and rain.
What is not a good idea, is to paint the solar panels or the heat exchangers on the roof.
If the tubes are associated to the heat exchange process, in other words the pipes sit on the roof, and absorb sun, you would be best advised to choose a paint that absorbs heat, and does not reflect it, as that would make the system more effective than normal paints.
But its much more fun, not to be bothered with matters on the roof, while you can get a good look at your woman in the swimming pool, don't you think?

What is the difference between passive solar energy systems and active solar energy systems?
The difference between a passive solar energy system and and active solar energy system is how the energy is collected and distributed. In a passive solar energy system, the building itself is designed as a collector and the heat is distributed by natural means. In an active solar energy system, special collectors, storage tanks, and mechanical and electrical equipment (pumps and fans) are used to transport and distribute the heat energy. Passive systems - convert sunlight into electricity, which is used to heat a hot-water tank. Active systems have tubes behind them filled with water from the household supply. The direct energy from the sun heats the water in the tubes. Passive solar usually has no moving parts and the sun's energy is stored directly in whatever the sun is hitting such as a large mass or a room. Active solar heating will usually involve the use of pumps to pump a fluid to solar collectors and then back to a distribution point where the solar energy collected is transferred to another heating system, such as a forced hot air system. Active solar is much more complicated. Passive solar heating has no moving parts, but utilizes windows and the sun. The position of the house is very important. Active solar heating uses solar panels to produce electricity for heating, or pumps to move water warmed by the sun.
How does a solar heating system save energy?
A passive Solar heating system simply heats water in copper tubes. The hot water simply rises into a higher storage tank for distribution to areas lower than the tank. It uses free Sun heat and saves energy by eliminating the hot water heater and all the energy it had been using.
What is freight class for plastic tubing?

How do you repair luggage handle?
This is a fairly complicated process involving removing the lining of the case and the handle. Removing the tubes to find the parts that need repair and if plastic heating the parts to get them to restore to their original shape.
