Doesn't HAVE or need to be shiny, the airgap between the hot exposed surface and the real wall is the insulator and ventilator. Edges must be open to let air through so it takes most of the heat away. You could put a nice wooden fence in front instead, trellis and vine, hedge type bushes.
Roof is same principle, air gap and open edges so the air can blow through. If anything put insulation on the inside of the extra wall but I wouldn't bother.
My North 'Insulation' is an old tin fence that happens to be the back fence of one of my neighbours .
