A great many precautions must be taken. First, a wire mesh dish is preferred. Second, the filters placed into the signal processing train are rather more reflective than what would be used for any other celestial target.
That said, there's actually an awful lot of solar radio astronomy done. The sun is very interesting at radio wavelengths.
