The illustration above shows the difference between a Class 2 vs. Class 3 solder joint. Dimension W is the width of the component lead, and dimension A is how much of the lead is extending over the solder joint/PCB pad. For Class 2 solder joints, A can be one-half of W. In other words, 50% of the lead can be "off" of the side of the pad ...

The interconnection of busbarless solar cells enables significant silver reduction. We use solder coated wave-shaped wires to reduce thermomechanical stress in the solder joints, which results in minimized cell bowing. Consequently, this interconnection concept is especially suitable for the interconnection of back-contact solar cells.

However, you should never try to heat up a duller solder joint merely for cosmetics. This can cause the joint to be damaged and then you will need to desolder it. Why Dull Solder Joints Might Occur. If your solder joints …
If the iron is left on the joint for too long, as well as risking damage to the component and PCB, this may also exhaust the flux content of the solder wire. This will cause the solder to oxidise, which in turn could result in a dry solder joint forming. Allow the solder on the joint to cool and solidify before allowing any movement.
Solder, the verb, means to join together two pieces of metal in what is called a solder joint. So, we solder with solder! Solder wire sold as a spool (left) and in a tube (right). These come in both leaded and lead-free varieties. Leaded vs. Lead-free Solder -- A Brief History.

Accumulated creep strain energy density; the measure of solder joint damage was measured under induced temperature load ranging from -40 °C to +85 °C for 6 cycles. The zinc-solder-silver joint with highest CTE mismatch of 19.6 ppm exhibits the greatest damage while the silver-solder-silver joint with no CTE mismatch demonstrated the least damage.
fatigue life of solder joints diminishes to 13,800, 11,800, 10,600, 9400 and 7,800 cycles to failure respectively. Thus, solder joint fatigue life decreases as the IMC thickness increases during service lifetime. Therefore, proper design of solder joint in crystalline silicon solar cell
Silicon . Silicon is, by far, the most common semiconductor material used in solar cells, representing approximately 95% of the modules sold today.
