Yes. For the same total number of panels you will get about 15% less energy over the year from an east-west facing roof, compared to a south-facing one. For other orientations you will get a different percentage, e.g. for a south-west facing roof you will get about 5% less.
However, in summer you will get more electricity from an east-west facing roof early in the morning or late in the evening and you could well find this an advantage. Also, east-west oriented houses (assuming they have a simple pitched roof) have twice the viable roof space of a comparable north-south oriented house.
