Can this pex be installed in an attic close to an exterior wall where it gets indirect sunlight from an unsealed porch.

I did a little research and it seems like UV rays can be reflected - even off of the concrete porch floor. However, not sure how much would actually be reflected - especially up 9 feet high?

They are so "weak" that a single layer of latex paint will protect the pipe from them so how much effect would they have if they were reflected off a rough surface like concrete?
