For everyone that has had solar and batteries for longer (i'm still in my first year), when do you usually see an upturn of solar and your batteries lasting longer?

I expected winter to be disappointing, but I never expected it to be this grey and miserable and barely hitting 2-5kwh a day.If you check out pvgis with your location and layout it will give a monthly break down of average returns from which you can work out likely average daily generation. Probably halfway thro' Feb otherwise!
