Usable but limited

Niche keyword for the battery boom; fine for storage and retail sites, but few serious companies would make it their main address.

.tiresstrong parallel
delegated 2014 · live

Same bet: a single generic noun for a physical, replaceable manufactured component, where the natural registrants are makers, distributors, and retail/installer channels rather than a community or a profession, and the string's value rests on an existing aftermarket supply chain adopting it as its category address.

.solarmoderate
delegated 2013 · live

Same bet in shape — a generic energy-technology category noun whose registrant base is manufacturers, installers, and vendors selling into one hardware vertical — but it names a whole technology sector rather than a discrete product SKU, so the identity pull is somewhat broader and less component-like.

.partsmoderate
delegated 2014 · live

Same bet as a commodity-component category noun serving a fragmented manufacturer-plus-aftermarket-retailer base, though it is a generic plural covering all components rather than one named product, so it competes less as a specific industry's flag.

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
