So if we say those panels are 250 watts you have around 3kW worth of panels. How many hours of full sun do they get in winter?
Do you have any idea what your night time load is in kWh? If not then you will need to do what is called an energy audit. This means finding out hoe much power every electrical device you use at night uses and then multiplying it by the number of hours used. If we have this information, the sun hours and your battery capacity we will be able to see if you are generating enough power for your needs and have a charging fault or if your system simply isn't sized correctly for your needs. I suspect the latter.
