Some excellent suggestions offered so far... another one you could
consider is using plastic split loom, and attaching it at intervals to
the eave with short panhead or waferhead screws, then not only can you
pop the wiring in and out of it at will, but it will hide all the wiring
and make the whole thing look extra-clean.  If needed, you can also use
black zap-straps at intervals to hold it all closed.
