First post so thanks for joining me. Can an HHO generator run alongside or instead of a diesel generator for my house. I intend to use solar panels to produce the electric for the HHO generator part of the process.
Thanks in advance

What a bucket of worms- I almost don't want to attempt to answer this.. You never EVER try to store HHO, as it is a complete explosive, requiring nothing but an ignition source, such as the tiniest static spark or too high of a storage pressure. This doesn't rule out solar electricity for gas production WHILE THE GEN IS RUNNING, (A relay can handle that easily enough) but what about night time? The amount of HHO the solar panel(s) plus full genset output can make just might maybe be enough to idle that genset's engine.. Short answer is "NO"- sorry.
BUT- If you want to build a separator style electrolyser and store JUST hydrogen for use later then that is an excellent use of your solar panels.
