Incident Solar with a translucent awning

Hello, I tried to simulate a building on DesignBuilder with a awning opaque, with the same awning but partially translucent and without awning. The results i get don't make sense. I get that the incident solar on the wall is worse with the translucent awning then without any awning, but it is physicaly impossible. If anyone has information on how to make it work or how E+ does his calcul, i take it :) Or if you need anymore information on my case don't hesitate to contact me! Thank you very much
