Solar cells bonded to the car directly require some sort of clear resin,

Glass works, of course. :-) But it's difficult to make curved panels,
and then even more difficult to bond the PV cells to them.
I've used Dow Corning 1-2577 encapsulant to bond PV cells to glass.
They've been in the sun for 20+ years now, with only minor yellowing.
