They are still small plants and the leaves are quite thin at this stage so it would be better if you kept them out of direct sun but keeping them warm at the same time.
If the only site is in strong sunshine, you could rig up a bit of shading for them ?
They need to be gotten used to strong sunlight little by little over about 10-14 days, then they'll love as much sun as possible.
Don't forget to water and when you see the flowers appearing that's the time time to start feeding with a tomato type feed and let the insects pollinate the flowers

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
I have to confess, mine did the same, as did tomatoes; they seemed to pale and then go white and the leaves curled. This, I did mid-March when we had some lovely sunny days, but the breeze was quite cool. Got a bit of a fright as I sowed a variety of coloured tomatoes and it was too late to start again and I thought I'd done my dash for this season. I put them back inside for another month, and they have come back to looking healthy and normal. Most I have now hardened off and I planted the last of them yesterday (more like replacement planting). Never seen this before. Funny spring.
