Generator power

 looking to buy a generator to power my whole house, off grid.  My current
power needs are about the highest is 47kwh/day down to about 22kwh/day,
average about 32kwh/day.

Would this generator handle my power needs?

   The short answer to your question is that we don't have enough information to
answer your question.  For a start, why don't you Google around for some
generator sizing guides like this one
http://www.hondapowerequipment.com/products/generators/content.aspx?asset=gg_wattage  
and see what kind of answers you get?  After you have done a bit of homework,
come back here and we can discuss your findings.

Also, define "off grid".  Do you expect this generator to power your house
24/7/52 or is it just for standby use?  There is a huge difference!

 Off Grid, means that the power needs of the house will come from the
generator first, then if needed, take from the power company.

 Per SteveC:

That seems to imply that the power company's electric would be
available at least most of the time.

What's the rationale for running a gennie with it's very high
cost per kilowatt hour instead of using the power company's
product at a much lower cost?

Or is the power company's per KWHR cost very high?

 Going to run BioDiesel in the Generator, so cost per kwh will be low.
