Morphology

paneless = panel (transparent) = panel + less

Literal negative formation 'panel' + '-less' yields 'without panels', which directly matches the physical sense.

Etymology

Paneless comes from the word panel, a flat piece used in doors or windows, plus -less meaning 'without'. So a paneless window or door is simply one 'without' those flat panels, giving an open or clear view.
