Motorized if possible.  Battery operated shades are ok if electrical is not available.  However, the batteries need to be changed frequently.

dear Susie  thank you for your reply, I want to mention that Battery operated shades Today no need to change the batteries, there are 2 Battery motors- a- powerful for small windows B- powerful for large windows up to 180" wide x 108" high depending on the weight of the fabric, you can charge these motors with a charger like an iphone  one a year! or use a solar strip panel that keep the motor charge only need 20 minutes of light a day! and client does need to worry about it.
