This shouldn't even be considered "pushing the envelope" it's not that hot.

  Not that hot? It's 122°, 134° is the highest ever recorded on Earth, it's pretty hot.

    122F air temperature or 122F device temperature? Intel CPUs shut themselves down at 212F.

    It has hit 122 deg in the shade in California both of the past two summers (not yet this year). That's in the shade. Put equipment on a dark roof in full sunshine and your dish becomes a solar cooker. Maybe they could sell it that way, and claim autonomous switching between two useful modes.

    Fahrenheit not Celcius

    That’s the air temperature. Dark objects in the sun heat up a lot faster. We have a thermometer with a black plastic sensor (why?!) in our balcony. When the sun hits it in mid-morning, it gets up to 120°F, even when the actual ambient temperature is more like 65°F.
