The energy is a strategical issue for the great majority of the countries and industries in the world. The current world energy consumption is of 138,32 TWh per year and is foreseen an increase of 44% until the year of 2030 which demonstrates a market in expansion. However, the society demands energy solutions that cause as least ambient impact as possible, putting in doubt the use of the current technologies of power plants. The utilization of solar energy is an alternative to assist in the attendance of the future demand of energy. Its main impediment is the superior cost of energy production in comparison with the current power plants, mainly the oil based ones. However in last the 10 years an exponential growth in the amount of installed photovoltaics modules worldwide was verified. In this work a study on solar cell with quantum wells is carried through. The use of quantum wells already was pointed as tool to increase the efficiency of photovoltaics cells. The objective is to describe a methodology based on genetic algorithms for project and analysis of this type of device and to establish directive to construct an optimized cell using this technology. The results are in accordance with experimental data, that demonstrates the capacity of the quantum wells in increasing the efficiency of a cell and supply a technological tool that expects to contribute for the development of the country in the energy sector.
