I'd be curious just how much energy you'd get from this. I couldn't imagine it would be very much. If the solar panels are on the roof and the roof is at least translucent then the efficiency would go way down. Not that i think an opaque roof would do a whole lot better though.

...why would the roof be translucent? I can't speak for anyone else, but exactly zero of the places I've worked have had naturally lit ceilings.
