How to define fully opaque shades?

Hi,

I modelled two scenarios with fully opaque shades (the first with five facade shades and the second with only one shade at 40 degrees). I expected to have the same cooling energy. But the first scenario in Zone A is 424 kWh, while the second one is 478 kWh. Why are the results different for one shade above another shade? They should be the same. image description

Thanks, Berrak
