My only thought on mounting in front of the generator is that the lights either be on a frame that can pivot out of the way to allow east access to the gen, or that they be mounted to the bracketry in front the gen that holds the fiberglass door on so that they would slide out with the gen.

I've found that if I install something that inhibits access to a maintenance item, I may be more prone to procrastinate... :-)
