If these are architectural panels, then modeling them as windows with matching U-value, transmittance, and solar heat gain coefficient or g-value is the best approach. Trying to model the architectural panels as a "normal" construction with material layers like other wall assemblies will NOT WORK, because EnergyPlus assumes that material objects are opaque (ZERO transmittance) according to the Engineering Reference for surface heat balance calculations.
