Under the plans solar panels would be fitted to a million social homes.
The Labour Party has pledged to fit 1.75 million homes with solar panels if elected.
Under the plans solar panels would be fitted to a million social homes, while another 750,000 low-income households could have the panels fitted through interest-free loans or grants.
Labour said the policy would create 16,900 jobs and save 7.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
Jeremy Corbyn, Labour Party leader, said: “In this country, too often people are made to feel like the cost of saving the planet falls on them.
“Too many think of green measures as just another way for companies or the government to get money out of them, while the rich fly about in private jets and heat their empty mansions.”
Corbyn added: “By focusing on low-income households we will reduce fuel poverty and increase support for renewable energy. Social justice and climate justice as one.
“Environmental destruction and inequality not only can, but must be tackled at the same time.”
He is due to give a speech on the plans today, alongside the shadow business and energy secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey.
Labour has also unveiled plans to renationalise the UK’s energy transmission and distribution facilities.
