Conditions for the existence and conjugacy of complements of certain minimal ideals of solvable Lie algebras over a Noetherian ring R are considered. Let L be a solvable Lie algebra and A be a minimal ideal of L. If L/A is nilpotent and L is not nilpotent then A has a complement in L, all such complements are conjugate and self-normalizing and if C is a complement then there exists an x∈L such that C = {y∈L; yadnx = 0 for some n = 1, 2,…}. A similar result holds if A is self-centralizing and a finitely generated R-module.
