Who solar suits in Kathu (Patong)
Kathu is home to Patong Beach, the densest hotel and restaurant district in Phuket. Hotels and shops here are open all year and run air-conditioning and cooling almost nonstop, so electricity is their biggest cost after labor — and one that can genuinely be reduced with a system that generates power for use during opening hours.

Site conditions in Kathu (Patong)
Buildings in Patong are built close together at different heights, so shade from neighboring buildings falls on each roof differently at different times of day and shifts with the seasons. The area also sits in a valley between two ridges, so morning and evening sun is blocked earlier than on flat land. The assessment has to look at actual shade throughout the day, not just the free roof area.

Can a building near the sea in Kathu (Patong) have solar?
Yes. For coastal sites we use aluminum mounting structures and stainless-steel fixings, keep the inverter out of direct sea spray, and recommend washing panels with fresh water more often, because rain doesn't rinse salt deposits off fully.
