The short and simple answer is NO.

However, like Grabo pointed out, depending on where you fly the school might require it, but the FAA doesn't.

IMHO, your instructor should always be there for you initial solo.

I know that we require the instructor's presence certain solos. When I trained in FL I soloed most of the time when my instructor had the day off. He was usually nowhere to be found.
