If your solar installer does not install a pressure release valve I would not pay them until another installer inspected the system for other safety issues.
I've seen systems boil over in the winter because of the snow reflection when the corner of the panel that had the sensor was shaded for about 3 minutes or less.
So yes, getting more light on to any kind of solar collector will increase your output and void your warranty, you will need more sensors to trigger the pump and higher temp tubing or you will melt some part of it.
