We investigate when solvable Lie groups of a certain type do admit left invariant metrics with constant negative Ricci curvature. Our methods permit to construct a lot of new Einstein manifolds; some examples also have nonpositive sectional curvature. Further we relate the Einstein condition to the property that all geodesic symmetries are volume preserving.
