We provide a new characterization of invariant harmonic unit vector fields on Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant metric. We use it to derive existence results and to construct new examples on Lie groups equipped with a bi-invariant metric, on three-dimensional Lie groups, on generalized Heisenberg groups, on Damek-Ricci spaces and on particular semi-direct products. In several cases a complete list of such vector fields is given. Furthermore, for a lot of the examples we determine associated harmonic maps from the considered group into its unit tangent bundle equipped with the associated Sasaki metric.
