A roof reflector system that is used to reflect solar radiation away from a rooftop. The system uses lines of flags that are strung across the rooftop in parallel rows. Each line of flags contains a plurality of flags that are aligned side-by-side. The flags are reflective to solar radiation. A common ribbon joins the flags into a line of flags. The base of each flag is coupled to the ribbon so that the flags hang away from the bottom edge of the ribbon. Brackets are provided that that can be selectively mounted to the roof. Each of the brackets has a connector that receives and retains the ribbon, therein supporting the ribbon at a first elevation above the roof. The length of each of the flags is greater than that first elevation. As a result, the flags touch the roof and fold along the roof, therein shielding the roof from the heat of the sun.
