[EnergyPlus_Support] Modeling Indoor Artificial Solar Facility



Hi all,
I'm modeling an indoor artificial solar facility with E+.
It is designed to assess the thermal performance of window glazings.
The facility consists of two chambers called 'Inside Chamber' and 'Outside Chamber'facing each other. There are 104 of metal halide lamps  in the Outside Chamber that acts as an artificial solar and window glazings are installed in Indoor Chamber.
To perform the simulation, I needed the exact surface solar incident so I inversely calculated the solar incident and put them in the weather file but, there were some problems due to the interpolation during the process. So, my questions are

1. Is it possible to fix the solar incident angle?

2. If it's not possible to change the solar incident angle, what do you think is the best way to model the artificial solar system consists of 104 metal halide lamps?

thank you for your kind answers in advance,

JT
