Short solution, add a roof!
Your roof will need to be double sided, so don't use just a single polygon use a box or something similar.
Make sure you're rendering from a vray physical camera and not a view like perspective or orthographic.
Or you can lower the sun's intensity to somewhere around 0.004-0.005
I would also advise to work with a linear workflow(gamma of 2.2), don't forget to recalibrate the textures for 2.2 gamma, Maya has an attribute/node for this so 3dsmax should too. you get the best colors and shadows that way and if you save your render as an exr the possibilities in photoshop are limitless!
It's vRay suppose to be easier then, say, Mental Ray, yet I read alot of problems getting it to work out of the box.
Mental Ray has so many hidden things, powerful, yes, but it's like finding a treasure with many things, then figuring out the puzzle within the treasure.
Or maybe the scene scale is not coherent with the lights decay.
