They like to lay around in it in the wild so I bet it is OK as pets. But not too much sun. Especially if your guinea pig's fur is dark, like black. Dark haired animals absorb much more sunlight than light haired animals. Like humans, dark skinned people absorb more melanin.

Yes, guinea pigs need sunlight to help produce vitamin D, which is essential for their health. However, they should not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent overheating or sunburn. Providing a well-lit indoor environment with access to natural light or using UVB lamps can help meet their needs.
