hyrdrogen/oxygen production via solar panel questions

what are some stats on using our best solar panels to generate hydrogen and oxygen by electralysis? is it worth it yet?
-- ....Set phasers on tickle!

It is not economical to produce hydrogen by using solar panels. Requires far too much power to make it currently feasible.

Nope. At best, you are looking at $10 / GGE.

what if i'm burning the oxygen generated in the mixture along with the hydrogen in my hypothetical generator? not only the hydrogen...

oxygen doesn't burn, it makes other fuels burn better. increasing the air ratio over the optimum reduces the ability to burn. each fuel has it's best air/fuel ratio. Nothing is going to make hydrogen more cost effective.
