How close to actual scale is your cut and paste of the different pieces?

I note you don't show cables leaving the controllers at all.  The switch controllers, especially, being placed so close together and right up to the edge.

Are you intending to hinge this so you can access the underside for maintenance?

This may just be my personal preference, but I'd probably put the meters (and circuit breakers, I guess) above the transformer, not below it.  This could also help with wires being too close to the edges (meters are likely with terminals near the middle, the ZW obviously has it's outputs on the edge, which is right up against the upper edge of the panel in the above pic.  (inter-related with question on hinge desire).

Thanks Dave. Scale is pretty close. I used excel as a background grid as graph paper of sorts.  Good point on leaving extra room for the wiring to exit the controllers and bend down into holes. I definitely need more spacing between them. 

Hinging it is another good idea. I would surely need to have the ZW anchored separately from the panel. I’ll have to play around with that.
