No, there is actually more solar power entering the windows. (3 times more in summer versus 45° fixed angle)
I would expect that the Blockbeamsolar function reduces solar power on windows.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Blockbeamsolar
Using blockbeamsolar to simulate a sun protection automatically moving with the angle of the sun, I get strange results.
The best result apparantly is to put the angel of the sun protection always at 45°.
Using the Blockbeamsolar function, which follows the sun, cooling loads get worse. I would expect the opposite. Or am I missing something....?
