The keywords are "low and slow". Low heat, and plenty of time. Put the chips in a large enough bowl that they make a layer no more than an inch deep. Cover the top by laying a sheet of wax paper over it. Cook for one minute on heat "2", and check them. Keep adding 30 seconds, on heat "2", until they are melted. This saves you scorched chocolate, and a spattered mess all over the inside of your microwave.

Chocolate chips or shavings can be melted to be used for chocolate mousse, and can also be added to the chocolate mousse when it's done to add structure to it. Do not add the chocolate chips or shavings in when the mousse is still very hot, or it will melt and then you will lose that extra texture.

Just the fact that they were in the sun! The sun is HOT!! Are you serious? Heat. Chocolate chips also have a bit of wax in them to help them retain their shape (don't worry it's edible wax, won't harm you, and is in very small amounts). Wax melts in the heat. Sun causes heat. Therefore, your chocolate chips will melt.
