They generally put sunshades cloth over the greenhouses in the summer. I think Lowes/Home Depot sells the smaller stuff. You can definitely buy it at Greenhouse supply on the net.

If you start getting fancy with the expensive windows you will end up blocking the light your plants need. go with the sun shade screen.

Two questions, what is the size of that grow? I dont know land measurements. Also, if one is to do a green house grow, what type of material will let the most light in, while blocking outside view(with having a sealed, contained green house)?

I dont know for sure, maybe 12 x 6. I've been curious since sunlight seems to be a lot stronger then artificial light and free! lol

A seal greenhouse is too hot. You would need to run lots of fans & dehumidifiers. They are expensive to run
