Ambient air temperature is not the same as what a dark surface exposed directly to the sun will be at. The solar panels will be much hotter than the ambient air temperature if they're in direct sunlight.

In full sun panels can get up to ~150f, but they are not going to be that much above 77f ambient at 9AM.
