Someone mentioned 124C as a skin temperature limit, that would be readily achieved in plain sunlight and already elevated ambient temperature on metal skin at high incidence angle to the sun. Given slats are curved, and heat mass relatively low (so heating up takes less overall energy), some part of the surface is likely to be at maximum heat transfer angle...

Just thinking out loud. Obviously not a qualified statement with no engineering background...
