Buy or Build a white picket fence, privacy fence or make a wooden box, probably huge, with an open top and one side for ventilation.

Bushes or lattice fencing
How much space is available? Do setback requirements limit your plantings / construction?
Whatever you do, consult the manufacturer to allow proper access when maintaining the unit!
I might set up a few posts with lattice between... then plant a climbing vine or grapes... if the unit needs heavy service, it can easily be ripped out.
Here are some options I really like!
Great options! Having read the article about generators here , I think the main advantage of using a generator is that it can keep my electronic devices charged and I have water and heating in my house during a power outage. I've already bought it but didn't find a solution to hide it. So, thanks for the ideas!
