Generators can be a real touchy subject in a neighborhood. At my WA home the HOA requires one to get permission from his neighbor. I gave my neighbor permission, to be neighborly, but when the unit (natural gas) runs for its weekly test cycle I can hear it from in my home. AND that exterior wall is framed with 2x10s. The HOA recognizes the noise intrusion as our homes are only 50 ft apart. In TV the houses are even closer to each other.
I prefer to go with 2 Tesla Powerwalls. They are installed inside the garage and can run your air conditioning for at least 7 days, or so I'm told.
