We have 1 and 2 gal pots for starters, black, exposed to sun all day. When we transplant these, the roots are identical all the way around (hot side and "cold" side) and go right up against the plastic sides, so this would suggest that the extra heat (and there is a LOT of it) on the sunny side, is not enough to hurt. The plastic is so hot that it is very uncomfortable if not a bit painful to place one's hand on the pot.
