In some places you can grow year round under glass as long as you have ac.We can do 3 a year under glass in the UK. The middle grow it's just in the way, and the other two grows need heat and light input.
It is useful where loosing light to gain some heat, improves things. Though the product then won't be great without lighting. So it's not really an option, if you want a proper 'under the sun' grow. Where in general, you want all the sun. Not 70% of it. If you need glass, then you don't have enough sun for our crop. There is no middle ground.
You don't need glass, or you need glass and lights.
