With a south-facing roof, your solar panels will produce the greatest amount of energy overall. Although East or West-facing roofs also work very well and will produce energy for a large portion of the day. North-facing roofs are the most unfavourable option for solar panels, since they receive very little direct sunlight.
Solar panels will still generate electricity during cloudy weather, rain or any other period of indirect sunlight, just not as efficiently. Solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight and will generate less electricity during cloudy conditions.
