It has been raining for 3 days

The last three days it has been raining. This is good and bad. The good- it has been melting the snow, the bad- the cloudy days have prevented my solar panels from charging.
Day 1- I only got a trace of rain. Day 2- I got 1/2" rain over the course of the day. Day 3- I got 1/2" rain in about 2-3 hours in the very early am. So, it has been cloudy.
I live off the grid [no public utilities available at my house]. I have my own water well, solar panels for charging batteries to run my TV, computer, and lights. I have a very large generator to pump water from my well, run the vacuum etc. I have a very small generator to help charge my batteries when it's very cold [bad for batteries], and when it has been cloudy.
