Yes you are.

I once put a giant aluminized tarp over my roof after some major windstorm damage. It stayed up there for months.

While the result could have been anticipated, I'm here to tell you that tarp was highly impressive in reducing the sun's radiant heating effect inside the house.

That is why the metal roof I showed above is Energy Star Rated. I thought it was a bunch of BS because I got it in a dark color. I am amazed at the difference between the roof I got and one that is not energy star rated. I even used a piece to protect the gel coat on my boat when I had to heat up a piece of alluminum with a torch! I had the torche hitting the metal for almost 3 min and when I pulled back the metal expecting to see all chared up gell was super happy to find nothing wrong!
