In theory, it shouldn't heat up too much, for the 30 minutes or so that the sun's on it. If it was several hours or more, then you might need an extra fan, but you should be OK.

If you're worried about what your temps. are, try the Speedfan. It's not 'spot-on' accurate, but it's close enough to the actual temperatures to let you judge whether an extra fan is needed or not.
