When a system is installed in the Arizona desert, unless you put in an air
conditioner, you have little choice over the temperature.

Basically I agree about the low melting point of Vaseline, but I see it as
the canary in the coal mine: your batteries and connections shouldn't be
getting that hot!
Anything over 85 degrees and the cycle life of the battery drops fast.
I switch to grease, when I think I might encounter higher temps (like on
my car battery)

Yes, I hate Vaseline - it has a melting point of around 105 deg F, so
even a moderatly hot day will cause it to drip all over the place -
except onto the terminals it is supposed to protect.

Another YES for silicon. We have used it for years. A very thin coat
will last a long time. I have seen the gooey mess for heated vaseline
more than once.
