Nothing technically wrong with this idea. It works.
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

Evaporative cooling works. Rooftop surface area is inefficient but evaporative cooling is a real thing.

I didn't say it was practical, just that it works.
You can do the same thing on your condensing coils outside on your A/C system and improve the efficiency. Just have to make sure the costs of water is not too expensive.
