I've successfully left TS7250s for 6 months in northern Australia with
shade air temps up to 45C and lots of sun.  They are in grey ABS boxes
and shaded from sun in the middle of the day by a piece of aluminium
and the solar panel for the system. Picture here:

(hard disk, USB hub, sound card, ...) are more likely to fail due to
temps than the 7250.
