Just a couple things. 1) It would be much lighter to use PVC the same way you are using the plywood. Attach a pipe on the top back, then attach a u of pipe to that so you can hinge it out to support your panel. 2) A 60 watt panel like yours will only produce about 300wh per day. This means your daily usage could only be about 200 watts or so if this is your soul charge source. On a mild night a furnace would use more than that. 3) I have helped several people simply screw their controller into the inside of the top of the battery box. You can always get a bigger box, or a cooler with a vent hole added on the back.
