Definitely - panels that face north generate far more solar energy than those that face west.
It's worth getting an expert to evaluate your roof specifically, because other things also affect how much solar energy is created. Post your job today to get an expert opinion on how much energy you could generate with solar panels.

I've heard that you can get solar panels that track the sun, effectively following the sun throughout the day, and that these tracking systems can generate up to 50% more electricity throughout the day.

The guy that told me this said that his standard north facing panels work best during the middle of the day, and that if he could get them to track the morning sun and the evening sun then he'd get a much much better result. Unfortunately, he didn't tell me where you get these tracking systems from and how much they cost though.
