NEVER solder a ground. In the event of a lightning strike the solder will vapourize and leave you with an open connection. Grounds should be one continuous run if at all possible or if not CAD-welded or silver soldered. Silver solder BTW is not simply solder with a couple % silver added. It goes by the name Silfoss and contains about 15% silver as well as phosphor/bronze and requires a really hot torch to melt it. At the VERY least, use proper ground connectors and bolt the pieces together.
