You get almost as good exposure to the west, as the high-demand
hours for the electric grid are usually in the afternoon. So if
you put half your panels on the south-facing part of the roof, and
the other half on the west-facing part of the roof, you would
probably be OK. 44° N is not too much further north than us (we're
at 37° N), but you also get a lot more cloud action than we do.

I don't really have a ton of
area to put solar panels, given that my house largely runs
N - S. I'm not sure it's fiscally worth putting them on
the E or W facing slopes. I only have a little bit of S
facing slope. Some on the main house and some on the
garage.
Obviously the farms have a lot of S-facing slopes, but
that doesn't do me a whole lot of good. :-)

Only because the shaded area might cover more
surface area.
Solar panels are supposed to be mounted so that
there will be convection air currents flowing behind
them to help them keep their temps down.
Lower temps == higher voltage and higher power
output.
But solar insolation is directly proportional to
irradiated area.
Shade is pretty much shade irrespective of coming
from a tree or a panel.
