Commercial solar investments see generous congressional tax package benefits
ALISO VIEJO, CA, Jan. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XsunX, Inc. (OTC:XSNX), a leading solar
and energy saving technologies provider, announced today that the 2018 new tax plan passed by Congress in December, 2017 introduced
two provisions favorable for commercial solar installations. These provisions are an expansion of depreciation allowances and a
reduction in the corporate tax rate.
With a doubling of the Federal first year depreciation allowance to 100%, XsunX’s solar + energy storage solutions can now offer
clients even greater economic benefits. Generally, commercial clients prefer to avoid paying taxes as soon as possible which makes
the new first year 100% depreciation rate, that creates a shorter depreciation schedule, more attractive to corporations by
allowing them to claim their tax savings sooner.
“With these new tax benefits in hand, XsunX’s marketing channel may just have doubled,” stated Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX,
Inc. “Our New Year’s resolution is to call back and present improved financial projections to prior sales contacts. And, we
are also looking forward to working with future sales contacts to whom we can now present more compelling benefits for investments
into solar.”
Commercial clients using XsunX’s solar + energy storage solutions can lower their utility energy bills significantly. Lowering
these bills can make commercial entities more profitable, which can, if these profits are not re-invested in other ways, increase
tax liabilities. However, the new tax plan also provides a Federal corporate tax rate reduction to 21%, from 35%, which can reduce
tax liabilities while also improving the annual rate of return for solar investments.
“In the past, we’ve seen clients excited over the prospect of using energy savings to re-invest in new equipment, expansion
efforts, or even incentivize employees,” stated Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. “However, a 14-point reduction to the
corporate tax rate significantly increases the attractiveness of going solar regardless if clients choose to bank the savings or
reinvest in their companies,” concluded Mr. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc.
Individually, either of these two tax benefits are a bonus. Together, they can significantly help add to savings and
profitability to improve the net present value (NPV) in analyzing the value of a solar investment. Generally, an investment with a
positive NPV will be a profitable one, and with most solar investments having already provided positive NPV projections, the new
tax plan only further underwrites the value of investing in self-generation solar solutions.
