I was having a similar problem and decided to do three things. First I needed to replace the roofing so I went with metal. I went with the best energy efficient. This makes my attic much cooler and I will NEVER need to replace it and it adds lightning protection.
I next was going to put in a solar operated attic vent. Instead, I went with a bigger ridge vent and found the attic has a better heat flow from eave to ridge. So no Solar Powered Vent.
Lastly I will be putting in better insulation in the attic. But even now, it is much cooler up there.
I did so some new Low-E windows two years ago. Those also are a big help in all seasons. They open more easily and reduce heat flow in winter and summer.
I refuse to pay the utility companies every month more than I need to.
