Berken Energy develops energy producing thin film products using several patent-pending technologies. These technologies allow us to produce highly reliable and long lasting thermovoltaic (TV) and combination products such as photothermovoltaic (PTV™) and geothermovoltaic (GTV™) modules that establish new industry benchmarks for lower cost per watt and higher efficiency. These low cost and simple to manufacture solutions inherently change the way energy is produced from renewable resources, thereby lowering energy costs and replacing outmoded electricity technologies like coal and natural gas.

Berken Energy is actively testing thin film applications against heat sources like the earth's own geothermal reserves. Berken uses closed-loop water as one of the methods to access that heat and turn it into electricity. By utilizing the same thin film technology that captures the sun’s heat, Berken is able to capture the earth’s heat, generating electricity 24/7.
- Double the power of PV Film with further R&D showing 20x more power
- Faster deployment times
- Far less acreage needed
- Shallower wells than conventional geothermal
- Less expensive electricity than any other technology
- Works in all 50 states — not just western states
PhotoThermoVoltaic (PTV™) View detailed page
Our patent-pending product is able to convert light into electricity with a photovoltaic cell, then use a thermovoltaic stack to convert the waste heat into even more electricity.
- More Watts per $ spent — recognized ROI
- More Watts per square foot
- Designed to “Match” peak consumer energy requirements
- Integrates with anyone else’s PV and makes it better!
- Compatible with concentrator systems or flat plate systems
Reclaimed ThermoVoltaic Film (RTV™)
- Patented product used to capture heat from existing sources and convert it into electricity
Our patent-pending thin film technologies will allow you to reduce the cost per watt of output — period. We've overcome many of the weaknesses associated with photovoltaic and geothermal systems by harnessing the power of the earth and sun, and have dramatically increased the area of the world that will benefit from lower cost geothermal energy production — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
24/7 Availability: GeoThermoVoltaic energy has truly unlimited potential to power the world by harnessing the earth's natural heat 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Concentrated PhotoThermoVoltaic (PTV™): Berken Energy is currently developing and testing a concentrating solar power system designed for commercial utilization. Our proof-of-concept will have the capability to magnify light eight times via a Fresnel lens that focuses light onto our PTV™ cells.
