I don’t have a house. I have lived in my bread truck for 35 years. One of my friend who lived in his bread truck built a frame around the top and filled it with water. The water cooled his truck nicely. It was evaporative cooling and like living under a lake. He lived in New Orleans where it is very hot.
Personally I have a plywood top with an air space above the metal rool. My van make it;s own shade. I can park in the sun so my solar panels work fine.
I bet if you put solar panels on the roof of a house the house would make its own shade too.
