Direct sunlight will not overheat the iPad if there is good air circulation. Our iPad shut down a couple of times because of overheating before we learned to open a window to let a breeze blow on it. If we couldn't do that, I would have to rig up a shade, or a small fan.
The aluminum back is the heat sink. Our iPad sits in a RAM mount, and sometimes I feel that it reduces air circulation a bit, but it would also be an excellent place to attach a sunshade if we ever thought we needed one.
