It would not produce as much as it would facing south. Whether directly or indirectly, south facing panels will get you the most out of the daily sunshine.
Then there is the size question. More surface area exposed to the sun will give you more wattage in the end.
Reputable solar panel dealers should be able to give you their optimum recommendation and estimates.

Are you in the northern or southern hemisphere?
If you’re in the northern hemisphere, then you will want to place them on a south facing roof. It can increase output by 100%+.

You will lose at least half of your potential by facing north in the northern hemisphere. With the price of solar, even with rebates, it’s not worth it. If you have a section of yard available, perhaps you could do a pole mount facing south. http://www.altestore.com/store/Solar-Panel-Mounting-Trackers/Top-Of-Pole/Direct-Power-Water-Top-Of-Pole-Mounts/c515/

as long as light hits it it will generate electricity but the north facing will decrease the amount of electricity generated
