Great application for glass recycling - and diffuse glass tile is ideal for greenhouse applications.

2kWhr/sf energy required for tile. Energy payback of ~20 days from same area of solar panel.

Energy cost of $12 for firing per 1000 sf in a batch kiln, 4x8 feet, with 32 layers.

And, doubles up as aluminum melter, which is only 660C while glass is 850C.

Costs $25k, for 1000 sf/day production volume.
