Hello there

To the best of my knowledge, the smallest diesel generator you can get is 7kva. It comes in a "sound proof" cabin but will set you back around 160k. Brands are Kama and Kipor. The open type diesel gens will make too much noise whick will have ur landlord all over you like white on rice. Or you could go with those contraptions that use 2 water drums for cooling!!!

you can get a small diesel gen for less than 100k but it will not be soundproof .
100k will not fetch you an european made diesel gen except if it is tokunbo.
Go to the tokunbo gen market at ilasa, i guess that you can get something there.

Yeah, Ilasa or Ladipo. You should be able to get some good deals there. Note though that they will have to do somesort of conversion on it for you

thnx guyz i appreciate you all

Generators that are not soundproof are called open type. No casing, bare bones, just engine and alternator. You can get a Cummins. Do you want a brand new one or a used one?
