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'd be easy without the obstruction of other upward-poking components.
