Sounds like a job for Friction stir welding..........Just

If the panel will only be seen from one side, how about spot welding
tabs on the back side to hold the sheets together.

Well I don't have a spot welder capable of doing aluminum, and the ones
that can are expensive.

I am trying to stay away from welding solutions because of distortion.

I might just try a riveted seam on a small panel and have it
powdercoated as a test.

My thoughtr was that the joint could be sanded with a DA sander to
leave almost no visible seam.
This would reduce the electrostatic difference so the seam should be
less visible.
The panels will be about 12 feet above a store front so I am more
worried about viewing distances of 20 - 30 feet.
