    Roofs already have vents to reduce the trapped heat.

This part needs improving, that's all. Sensors and more power.

A solution like that pictured is a recipe for water ingress.

I envision that the rising part will over hang the roof as a cap, which is pretty much how shingles function as it is. There would likely be mesh or netting as well. There are some technical challenges no doubt, but I don't think they would be great.
