How to make a sharp shadow?

Question

In the picture the sun makes a diffuse shadow on the interior wall of the poolhouse. I want this to be a sharp shadow (as would be the case in real life, with a full sun). Don't know if and how I have to change the wall material and/or the lighting (or whatever).

(the material of the wall is shown on the right panel, as "concrete")

Change the size of the sun lamp. See: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/44719/meaning-of-sun-lamp-size — , Jan 13 '16 at 17:07

A sun lamp with size 0 will give you a very sharp shadow:

As you increase the lamp's size it will give you much softer shadows.

In blender 2.8 Sun size has become "strength" – Pieter De Bie Jul 10 '20 at 05:03

No, strength is how bright it is. – stackers Sep 27 '20 at 17:43

In Blender 2.9, set Angle to 0°. – dirk Oct 27 '20 at 10:56
