My understanding of glass is that it is transparent because photons do not have enough energy to raise the electrons in the atoms to the next energy level, thus the photon is not absorbed thus it gets through and we see it as light.
But if the photon isn't absorbed, thus not leaving it's energy behind in the glass and, how come glass till gets hot on a summers day? If the light has retained it's energy?
