Not in Solaris.  At least, not in 2.6 or 7.  Instead,
sh is linked to jsh (which I know nothing about).

Solaris 7:

tsmlibrary# cd /bin
tsmlibrary# ls -l sh ksh jsh
-r-xr-xr-x   3 bin      root       91668 Oct  6  1998 jsh
-r-xr-xr-x   2 bin      bin       192764 Oct  6  1998 ksh
-r-xr-xr-x   2 bin      bin       192764 Oct  6  1998 ksh
-r-xr-xr-x   3 bin      root       91668 Oct  6  1998 sh
-r-xr-xr-x   3 bin      root       91668 Oct  6  1998 sh
Solaris 2.6:
Solaris 2.6:

nzwnsubo10001# cd /bin
nzwnsubo10001# ls -l sh ksh jsh
-r-xr-xr-x   3 bin      root       88620 Jul 16  1997 jsh
-r-xr-xr-x   2 bin      bin       186356 Jul 16  1997 ksh
-r-xr-xr-x   2 bin      bin       186356 Jul 16  1997 ksh
-r-xr-xr-x   3 bin      root       88620 Jul 16  1997 sh
-r-xr-xr-x   3 bin      root       88620 Jul 16  1997 sh

A note for anyone wondering about Solaris version numbers, the more
recent part of the sequence goes like this:
    2.5
    2.5.1
    2.6
    2.7 also known as 7
    [2.]8
There is more to the story but this will do, I think.
