Well... it may never become an issue, but I think that the HDPE has a maximum temp rating of 180, after which it gets soft.
It could be a good idea to have a failsafe circuit that would sense for over-temp situations and could act to prevent damage. I have heard of flat plate solar panels easily reaching 212F.
