What's the greatest (or least) roof aspect anyone's installed panels on?

Hi

I'm just looking at a possible installation where the only available roof space is facing just past West at about 285degrees. Not ideal but I'm wondering what's the greatest (or least) aspect anyone has done an installation on?

..be honest!

We have installed on a west facing roof and we're getting reasonably good figures from it.

No looking at a possible 4Kw on my business partners roof as he is so impressed with the 3 panel we fitted to achieve MCS.

Design results look good.

Crikey 3 panels. What inverter did you use for only 3 panels?

Done east and west aspects both very similar results

Did a WNW because someone previously had secured low carbon funding for the ESE roof but forgot that it had roof windows and 2 flues. We put Sanyo HIT's on and it started generating right away even though it was drizzling outside. Wouldn't do it again but the housing association we did it for were grateful just to get an install. Doing a West facing next week in Scotland - payback in 12 years rather than 10 but the customer is aware of that and happy with the projections.
