Attaching solar panel / hot water tank thermostat

[DIY Ken]

I have a hot water system that was professionally fitted. It has a pocket into which an additional thermostat for the solar panel can be placed. The wires were left trailing and the thermostat came out. Two questions, firstly is it OK to tape the thermostat wires to the pipework to keep the wires secure? second question what is the best way of securing the thermostat in the pocket?

Many thanks
Ken
