It might be. The only way to be sure is to try. If it's really 5-6 hours of good sun, I think they'll be fine.

I am pretty sure it is around 5 to 6 hours the reason I dont grow peas there is that they would get burned up by the sun about mid summer.

They do need 6 or more hours of sun. Peppers don't need anything to grow on. They've got sturdy stalks.
I'm trying mine in containers this year.
Have fun with your peppers.
