3. Install an attic fan, solar is good.
4. Install a ceiling fan, one or even two in the garage to keep the air moving.
These steps will cost less then $750. And if you need it even cooler, install a garage door screen, but those get a bit expensive. Get the one that opens along the same track as the door with a remote control if possible. If you install the sliding type it's not a matter of if, but when, you will back the car or golf cart into it.

What is the basic difference between an attic fan vs. solar fan? Do both help cool the house AND garage, or what? Any help is appreciated.
