Quartz is made of Silicon and Oxygen (SiO4, the formula is SiO2 due to proportions between silicon and oxygen), sand is made of Silicon and Oxygen (I don't know if it is the same material but the atoms that make its composition are the same), so what is the problem in using sand to make glass? Sand is used to make glass in real life by the way.

If we can't use sand itself to make glass, we could have some sort of machine(powered by solar panels) to transform sand in quartz (it would take some time to finish the process), it would be great.
