It takes a lot of energy to separate out a significant amount of hydrogen from water. Your solar panels will probably give you enough to run a lighter for a few seconds.
Besides... you're taking solar electricity to generate hydrogen to power a fuel cell to run your electric engine... why not just take the power straight from the solar panel? You're wasting a ton of energy in the processing.
