You can close any panel using Shift + Esc. So hit the key combination with the focus on the solution explorer and it will close. You can then use the shortcut that you mentioned to open the solution explorer again.

If you'd rather auto-hide and dock the panel instead of closing it, you can define shortcuts for Window.AutoHide and Window.Dock.

For Example:

Window.AutoHide (Shift+Space(Global))

Window.Dock (Shift+Alt+Space(Global))
