Solar energy

The northwest side of my house has three windows, and these have trellises installed outside them. When I bought the house, there were lavender bushes along this side, and they grew up the trellises providing some privacy for my bedroom windows. Unfortunately, when I had the house fumigated for termites, I had to pull up the bushes -- and what was left was killed by the gas.
Today I finally removed what was left on the trellises, leaving the side of my house as a blank slate with pristine trellises waiting for something new -- I'll figure out soon what I want to plant there, but I want to make sure it is something that will grow up the trellises but not stick to the house itself.
For the first time since I moved in, I have sun on that side of the house, coming in to the bathroom and bedrooms, which were always dark previously. True, I don't have that sense of privacy from the house next door that I had before, but the sun is enticing...
any ideas on what I could plant that won't completely block out the sun?
