Soldering is not restricted by the NEC - see section 110.14 "Electrical Connections" for details.
Properly crimped connections can be as reliable and are electrically similar to properly done crimped AND soldered connections (the NEC does not allow soldered only connections - perhaps that was what you meant? See 110.14(B) for that restriction.) I do not think that soldering skills is a "must have" requirement for a solar installer technician anymore - other than for plumbing - which is a different thing.
