We present a simple criterion for solvability of lattice spin systems on the basis of the graph theory and the simplicial homology. The lattice systems satisfy algebras with graphical representations. It is shown that the null spaces of adjacency matrices of the graphs provide conserved quantities of the systems. Furthermore, when the graphs belong to a class of simplicial complexes, the Hamiltonians are found to be mapped to bilinear forms of Majorana fermions, from which the full spectra of the systems are obtained. In the latter situation, we find a relation between conserved quantities and the first homology group of the graph, and the relation enables us to interpret the conserved quantities as flux excitations of the systems. The validity of our theory is confirmed in several known solvable spin systems including the 1d transverse-field Ising chain, the 2d Kitaev honeycomb model and the 3d diamond lattice model. We also present new solvable models on a 1d tri-junction, 2d and 3d fractal lattices, and the 3d cubic lattice.
