This is likely caused from heat stress and the spots on your peppers attributed to sunscald (which is like sunburn for plants). Make sure the plants receive extra watering when temps rise above 85 F. and if necessary, you may need to provide some shade (with translucent shade cloths) during the hottest part of the day.
