It takes a fair amount of time for the UV light to break down the nylon

performance of your board. I would be more worried about moisture and
corrosion. Any possibility you could put a lot of epoxy all over your
board except for the photo diodes?
That's a very good possibility. I can mount the other components
on the other side of the board, put the photodiode array on the
sunlight-facing side, and mask off everything except the photodiodes.
That might be a good idea anyway, since many semiconductors
(especially diodes in glass housings) are light sensitive, and behave
differently in full sunlight than they do on the bench in a darkish
lab.
