I'm in Baton Rouge, LA so I feel you're pain! My garage door faces south too. I bought some of that bubble insulation with one side being foil. I had to use 3 sheets on my door before it cut the heat down! I cut out pieces to fit between the sections of the door. I can take pictures if you need me to.

I have an older barn style wooden shop that's 30'x30'. It's insulated with the roll type R-16 insulation from Home Depot. I installed a Whirlpool 18,500 BTU window unit in it and it made all the difference in the world. We're in the 100+ temps including heat index through July and August too.
