Check into painting your roof with a thick white Elastomeric covering. All the big box stores have it from various manufacturers. Roughly $125 for a 5 gallon can. Only a very high end professional spray pump can handle something that thick so you'll likely have to roll or paint it on by hand. And they generally recommend two layers.
The product does not like ponding on the roof since that may allow water to get under it - and the dirt collecting in those areas absorb heat instead of reflecting it.
And you may have to prep your roof before applying the Elastomeric product.
I had two side-by-side metal shipping containers and after using Elastomeric on one of them the difference was amazing.
