I have a evaporative cooler and it works well until the temps hit 100F (which has been a more frequent occurrence in the last few years). My neighborhood seems to be slowly converting to mini-splits.

Solar reflective paint, retractable sun shades, etc. "Low-Tech" solutions to knock a few degrees off of the structure's internal temp could make a lot of difference.
