How can batteries make energy cheaper, more sustainable and more accessible? In this episode we're joined by two people who are using batteries in innovative ways to support communities. Professor Satish Patil tells us about the Sunrise Network, which supports rural communities and communities living off the grid, bringing energy independence through use of solar panels and batteries. Brenda Park is the director of StorTera, and she spoke to us about the company's patented new battery technology, and how it's set to support communities in the UK.
