Theoritical Framework
So Project HELIOS: Harnessing Energy through Light Involving Operation of

Scraps is made up of interconnected engineering principles and science concepts which
are the Waste Management Theory, Electrical Engineering Principle of the Photovoltaic
Effect to be specific, the Principle of Automation and the Software Development Life
Cycle.
Waste Management Theory as Applied by Project Helios
Project Helios will use Waste Management Theory to lessen waste pollutants
that can bring problems to us humans, and to our environment. We will develop a
device that follows proper waste segregation that is limited to tin cans and plastic bottles
only.
Electrical Engineering Principle
The Photovoltaic device or cell is composed of a p and an n type semiconductor
forming a PN structure. When sunlight hit the cell, the photons in light excite some of
the electrons in the semiconductors to become electron-hole (negative-positive) pairs.
Now, the electrons move to the negative electrode while the holes move to the positive
electrode. A conducting wire connects the negative electrode, the load, and the positive
electrode in series to form a circuit. As a result, current is generated to supply the
external load. That is how solar PV effect works.
Principles of Automation
AUTOMATION is defined as the application of technology to make a device,
process, or a system operate automatically. Project HELIOS applies automation in the
proper segregation since there will be minimal intervention in the process of separating
wastes in their respective bins.
Software Development Life Cycle
SDLC defines the complete cycle of development and all the tasks involved in
planning, creating, testing, and deploying a software product.10
In the planning stage, we will gather all data and information for the overall
function of the research. The data includes the materials to be used and the
beneficiary’s responses regarding their needs to charge their phones and the current
waste management situation in Brgy. Malaya, Pililla, Rizal.
Next. Analysis stage is where we will analyze the data we’ve gathered for us to
know which ones will help and which ones will hinder the success of Project HELIOS.
Now, the design stage where we will now create the prototype of Project HELIOS
from the specifications created through the first two stages.
In the implementation stage, we will create all software programming for project
HELIOS using Arduino IDE and this include performance testing and aligning of output
to our design specifications.
The Testing and Integration stage is where we will deploy the prototype in its
designated area in brgy. Malaya for the beneficiaries’ testing of usage. Here, we can
evaluate the beneficiaries’ satisfaction of the device and also the defects that may arise.
The last stage which is the maintenance stage, Here, we will hand the device
over to the beneficiaries for their independent usage. If needed, we can make
improvements to the software and that’s the goal of this finals stage, to make sure that
Project HELIOS will operate at its optimal capabilities.
Procedure and Method of the Study

We, researchers, begin this study by researching ideas regarding renewable
energy generation. Then we develop and proposed individual titles about energy
generation and renewable energy from sound, wind with solar and temperature and
none of the titles has been approved, we arrived at the idea of solar energy generation
that can be triggered by recyclable scraps. And we have successfully defended it. We
started gathering information and facts about the study in Barangay Malaya via online
interview. Therefore, we decided to come up with a device which can be a solution in
proper waste management with Solar Charging station. We called it Project HELIOS.
Though the specifications we gathered from the recent steps, we will develop
and assemble the prototype following step by step processes; first the solar panel must
generate energy from the sun. The device will automatically operate if someone place
some plastic bottles or metal cans in the device. The device will identify the scraps
placed in the System’s Tube and segregate it. After identifying the scraps, he/she can
charge his/her phone with respective time. The more scrap you put to the device the
longer duration of your charging time. After the prototype is developed, it is now time for
deployment and here we will gather feedbacks about the performance of the device, or
even the problems it showed. Then we do maintenance as long as it is needed and that
is the whole procedure and method of Project HELIOS.
