Solar panel bonus

 When we had our solar panels installed, the deal was that we paid £5 a month and got all the electricity that we were able to use from the panels and Homesun got the feed in tariff and the £5.

I got a letter today saying that they'll be cancelling our monthly direct debit so we now get the panels for free, but they'll still maintain the panels for the agreed 25 year period.

I'm happy, but puzzled.  (and concerned that there's a catch somewhere.)

Either they hope to sell us some other service in the future and are being terribly nice to us (which is a sound tactic, but I'm not sure what they expect to sell us) or there is some other reason.

What kind of commercial sense does it make to turn down £60  a year for the next 24 years?

Answers on a postcard.....
