Could you build a greenhouse on top of your house?

Idea is to build a greenhouse rather than a conventional roof. What about heating/cooling of house? Efficiency? Engineering challenges? Would glass be too heavy? Would it stand up to weather such as hail? Has this been done? I read glass on greenhouses can last 30+ years so would it last as long as a conventinal roof? Would it cost more than a conventional roof or How about compared to a house with a conventional roof and an additional greenhouse structure? Appreciate your thoughts.
I looked on internet/google and only found a few articles on greenhouses on top of buildings, none on a house. Anyone know of any sites?
