I'm currious why you think your new watering system makes it happy. Have you checked the root system or something?

As previously stated by Tony if the leaves are burning then it probably needs time to adjust to full sun. A gradual introduction to full sun while a plant is still potted seems to work well. Start in filtered ight under a tree or shade cloth and gradually move out to full sun in the planting spot of your choice.

On the bright side, even a plant that's totally burnt from over exposure will rebound given time. Just don't over water it because it can't transpire the water with no leaves.
