    The most likely asbestos containing material you'd be likely to find in an old loft would be pipe lagging or a fibrous insulation board. If there was a loose layer of vermiculite, there is a very remote possibility of finding asbestos mixed in with it depending on the source - A mine in the USA (Libby, Montana) quarried the raw vermiculite, but it also contained small amounts of asbestos..
    But it sounds like a survey was done by the solar panel installers, and nothing of concern was found.
