WIremold has some "snap top" gutter that is nice. Many dimensions such
as 1" X 2". Paint as desired. Also there are many other brands. Check
with an electrical supply such as Graybar. PVC conduit is also nice.
Needs mounts such as clamps. Try Home Depot.

Cover with a moulding.

Well, I don't know of a LESS attractive way, so I guess the
answer must be yes. Can any or all of the wiring be run
inside, either in the attic or basement or crawlspace unfinished
spaces?
Neatest systems (important for business premise wiring) are
based on a wiring closet. One gathers all internal and external
wiring to a single interconnect site.

Maybe that half-moon channel they use to run electric lines up and down
utility poles?

I think I used paint thinner last time I used PVC pipe to remove the stamped
data. IIRC, it bleeds through paint.

Yes, I should have mentioned that. The paint is needed for UV protection, as
well as looks (PVC is seriously ugly).

Is it possible to reroute the wiring through an attic or basement?

Ayup. Put up J-moulding, scritch. http://fwd4.me/XRz
Drill drain holes every couple feet and paint the surfaces.
If you can't buy it the same color as the house or trim, paint it
yourself.
