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. Thus, this is multiuse for dehydration, pottery, glass, and aluminum.

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