I’m as dumb as a box of rocks, obviously. I don’t get it: if the ambient temperature is 95 degrees (Florida summer), how is reflecting sunlight off the roof supposed to “cool” a house enough to do away with the A/C?

The system does more than reflect all the sunlight. It is also transparent to the IR that your house is (always) emitting, and that IR energy is radiated into space.
