You don't need to solder a splice, but you may wish to depending on the environment. The key is to have a reliable joint that minimizes joint resistance. Depending on current, type of wire and application there are various splice methods and devices available. On any splice unless it is a ground, you want to just make sure that bare wire isn't exposed to cause a short or safety hazard.

What are the importance of electrical splice and joints?
Totally important!The connections must be well made and the wires tightly joined to prevent a loss of voltage to the device powered. In high current situations a poor connection causes heat at the connection and oxididaion of the wires and no more or intermittent connections.Most problems in electrical is not a short but: an open connection.Additional AnswerIn the case of high-voltage underground cables, the restoration of the insulation is critically important, as is restoring the cable's waterproof integrity. The skills required are such that cable jointers serve a full apprenticeship in that particular trade.

Can you apply heat to teflon tape to solder a copper joint?
Yes, you can. I had this very same question myself a few days ago. In order to answer it, I put a piece of teflon tape in the flame of a propane torch. It shriveled, but did not burn or melt and when I stretched it out, it returned to its original shape. I then made a sweat joint inches from a teflon wrapped joint with no problems. You sure want to be carfeul when doing this though. Teflon gives off extremely toxic gas if you melt it.
Illusrations of common wire splices and joints?
You can splice wires together in many ways. You can solder them together and then tape them up or use a shrink insulator that shrinks by heating it up. You can strip the wires back about 1/2 inch and then twist them together and put them under a wire nut. Wire splices in a home must be spliced together inside a junction box with a cover. Wires can never be spliced behind a wall. Any splice should be placed where you can access it later on.
How do you install a Kenwood KDC-135 in a 1995 Dodge Grand Caravan when the wires have been cut so you cannot just buy an adapter?
You are going to have to solder each wire connection one by one. There is no other way around this. Be sure to put electrical tape over each solder joint to prevent other bare wires from shorting together.
