Abstract
Energy is increasingly becoming a scarce commodity; many governments and institutions are now investing in harvesting energy in a more viable, sustainable and affordable fashion. Solar panels, although a work in progress, are steadily advancing to become the standard method of harvesting solar energy. Helios MK-I benefits from these advances by using proven methods such as MPPT and digital control to efficiently and optimally charge lead acid batteries. Helios MK-I is an advanced MPPT battery charger which draws optimal power from solar panels for the purpose of charging Lead-acid batteries. The product aims to replace existing battery chargers that are currently used in various remote sites within British Columbia and elsewhere.

Description
Engineering Science undergraduates are required to complete a group-based, two-course capstone sequence: ENSC 405W and ENSC 440. Groups form company structures and create an innovative product that potentially acts as a solution to a real-life problem. This collection archives the following assignments: proposal, design specifications, requirements specifications, and final presentation.
