Not exactly.
>(B) Splices. Conductors shall be spliced or joined with splicing devices identified for the use or by brazing, welding, or soldering with a fusible metal or alloy. Soldered splices shall first be spliced or joined so as to be mechanically and electrically secure without solder and then be soldered. All splices and joints and the free ends of conductors shall be covered with an insulation equivalent to that of the conductors or with an identified insulating device. Wire connectors or splicing means installed on conductors for direct burial shall be listed for such use
>grounding and bonding
>(B) Methods Not Permitted. Connection devices or fittings that depend solely on solder shall not be used

So, I think soldering is allowed in NEC (as in my local code) as long as you don't do pic related. Just think about it, it is not really practical. I bet you'd need fire permits, getting molten solder on your head isn't that pleasant... Easier to use wirenuts (not really), wagos or fucking crimps.
