That sounds like a nice idea. I don't know if anyone has thought about it, but I certainly haven't. In the current design, everything on that panel is a pain to get at.
A swing down panel, using a piano hinge along the bottom edge, and perhaps a couple of strong magnetic latches for closure, would be sturdy enough. And it would certainly be good looking if you glued appropriate trim strips along the top and side edges of the panel, so it looks finished when closed.
I'm looking forward to pictures.
Now, how does that relate to a solar controller upgrade?
