How about the orientation of the sides affected to the sun? Always on South and West?

Now I have the answer to my phenomenon.

I just did an inspection two days ago where 7 to 8 square feet of house siding (on the second level) was melted. I simply couldn't figure out how the siding (that high) could get melted.

Thanks for the info.

No! The distortion I saw was on the north side as the skylight reflecting the sun was on the south facing slope of the house next door.
