May I suggest that you contact your local city electrical inspectors to see if you are allowed to move the panel.

To safely move the panel, you will have to remove the meter or kill the power from the meter to the main panel. To do this you would have to handle very live and deadly power lines.

My suggestion is to call a local licensed electrician for this type of work.
