yes it can

actually it's the sun that kicks out a lot of heat, and the lens will
focus it. A little test with a lens focusing the sun on the back of your
hand will convince you.

Of course, right at sunrise, the atmosphere absorbs a good deal of it,
but as the sun rises higher, the heat concentration at the focus may
eventually fry the CCD chip, especially, if you mount the camera in a
fixed position and it is the type of camera where the CCD is permanently
exposed.
