Taiwan's textile industry has made remarkable advances in developing green energy, the latest example of which is a portable energy source for 3C electronic product under six volts that has been successfully developed locally.

The portable power bank developed jointly by Taiwan Textile Research Institute and Taiwan Technical Textile Association combines the power generating capability of the flexible solar battery, the conversion ability of the flexible super capacitor, the storage and supply mechanism of the power bank and the system integration technology of the textile product.

The new flexible solar battery can convert sunlight to electricity even when the sunlight is weak and can generate more power for a longer length of time using breakthrough carbon fiber technology.

The product is the world's first textile-based flexible super capacitor that can be commercially produced.
