Both.
If I could gain 25% more output by adjusting tilt, then I'd go from generating 1kWh per day to 1.25 kWh per day, or an extra 3 cents worth of electricity (yesterday it generated 578 Wh all day). That, assuming I could adjust my roof angle. As it happens, my roof angle was already nearly ideal for spring production.
I'm going to get practically nothing from my panels until March. The overproduction credit is being drawn down quickly. The season I use the most electricity is the one where the least gets generated by solar.
