The damage to the vinyl siding which supposedly has a melting point of 160 degrees also is at a height of 5' at a 90 degree angle a few feet away from the windows.
Another interesting thing she mentioned was that the slate grey siding is the only one known to "melt". As I recall, my previous experience with this problem was all slate grey siding as well. <<

If you have an issue with siding melt, then a solution would be to install screen the windows full dimension to lower the glass surface reflectance level.
