Nothing technically wrong with this idea. It works.

The efficiency of it depends on the relative humidity. If the rH is low, you can get a significant amount of evaporative cooling.

But it's negated a fair bit by the homes insulation.

But it seems to be pointless...

So you're going to stand outside in the hot sun and power water on your roof to cool the house that you're not occupying?

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Not to mention why the need to get on the roof? Just spray the top of it from the ground
