Batteries included: Yorkshire village seeks to solve riddle of too much sun

Moixa trial at Oxspring to see if UK-made home batteries can store and use local solar power for longer, bypass National Grid and cut energy bills

The bungalows of Oxspring may look an unlikely testing ground for a new technology billed as a way to help renewable power, stymie energy price rises and aid the local power grid.

But later this month, dozens of homes in this South Yorkshire village will have a home battery installed as part of a 250,000 trial to see if they can make solar power more valuable to homeowners and less painful for grid managers.
