Hello! The heat shield is the main component seeing the Sun. It's made of carbon foam sandwiched between carbon composite sheets with a white ceramic coating on the Sunward side. Other items that see the Sun are made of niobium metal or silicon (solar cells). We spent lots of time developing the technology to withstand the Sun!
