Maybe another set of radiator fans. Or an AC fan in a room airpath vs
a hot airpath. Or back to a ceiling fan with lots of 4" PVC pipes
under a shiny ceiling. Most AC fans wouldn't last long at 150 F.

Maybe something like this, viewed in fixed font:

Will the room fan circulate warm air through the sunspace at night?
Motorizing one sdamper or making it heavy could fix that. The latter
would prevent desirable daytime sunspace thermosyphoning air...
