contents Building on the work of Yang, Key, and Muller, we investigate the spectral theory of solvable Lie algebras through their characteristic polynomials and associated spectral invariants. We begin by studying the general case: we compare two notions of spectral equivalence, establish the first known lower bound for the spectral invariant $k(L)$ via the weight decomposition of the nilradical, and introduce a new notion of spectral rigidity to study spectral equivalence within parameterized families. Then, we apply this framework to the classification of solvable Lie algebras with Heisenberg nilradical by Rubin and Winternitz, as we compute $k(L)$ and characteristic polynomials for all low-dimensional solvable extensions, construct the first explicit examples of spectrally equivalent yet non-isomorphic non-nilpotent solvable Lie algebras, derive two upper bounds for $k(L)$, and conclude by applying our rigidity criterion to these families.
