What if you like the view? You can't consider these things in isolation from other factors.

I don’t understand. The view would be the same. It would be the same as having as having roofs. Just slightly raised and maybe a different color. No problem with views.

When I read "over the house" I was thinking that this shield would go around the house.

Most of the heat entering my house is through the walls and windows. There's a huge air gap and thick insulation below the roof, so that's not much of a problem.

A little overhang would solve that mostly.
