Vanity and narrow

China's solar industry is real and huge, but its firms rarely build a web identity on a niche Chinese-script ending like this one.

who it’s for

Chinese solar/photovoltaic manufacturers, installers, and trade platforms wanting a native-script sector label — mostly for defensive or marketing-microsite registrations rather than primary identities.

.solarstrong parallel
delegated 2013 · live

Same bet exactly: an open generic noun for the solar-energy sector, sold to the manufacturers, installers and suppliers of that one industrial vertical, whose value depends on a whole trade adopting a category namespace rather than on any single company's brand.

uncontested · scored 45* in 2012 · run by Ruby Town, LLC

.家電moderate
delegated 2016 · live

The same structural bet in the same script — a Chinese-language generic industrial-product-category noun betting that an entire manufacturing sector's firms will move their primary identity onto a native-script vertical namespace.

.食品moderate
delegated 2016 · live

Also a Chinese-script generic sector noun sold to the producers and distributors of a single trade, so it wins or loses on the same question of whether Chinese businesses register industry-category IDNs as their real address.

* 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.
