As per the tittle, I am looking at a diesel gen with 10kva to 15kva power rating. Please let me know what your experiences, advice and recommendations are.

I have looked at the Firman SDG 12000SE but there appears to be a lot of replicas or clones with this brand. Abeg, advice me. Thanks.

Buy solar generator

Thank you. I was talking and asking about silent diesel generators though.

Anyone?

Did you later buy the Generator and pls what has been your experience because I want to buy the 10kva of this same diesel Firman Generator but am sceptical about the Generator having that I both 6kva petrol engine of same firman in less than 7months and it has packed up. I am so pissed off about Generator right now, yet I have no choice than to buy another.

Infact the 6kva is total rubbish as within 2months it no longer carry much load and the noise was out of this world.. so pls what has been your experience with the diesel engine.

Hey. Apologies for the late reply.

The generator hasn't been ordered yet. However I got a quotation from Perkins for 4.5m for their 20kva generator.

From what I have read, there are mostly two types, the one that are meant to serve as back up and used intermittently and the one with heavy use in mind. I believe the Perkins are designed for heavy and continuous use. Firman and similar brands do have heavy duty types but the common and affordable ones are the intermittent use ones only.

I am just putting finishing touches to where the generator will be so I should be updating this thread at some point. I am also sniffing around solar too.
