Since polycarbonate passed 90+% of light, might it make sense to glaze over the panels and pass air above and/or below them?

I'm not cutting holes in the roof, but if I was building from scratch it'd be a trolley-top, with curved solar panels on top with 23-window bus roof lights using Dodge Caravan frameless hinges and latches. The ribs would be aluminum I-channel with dimple-died lightening holes.
