Indirectly, though he is powerless and even vulnerable in Red-Sun worlds such as his now-extinct Krypton. He has no reason to recharge his batteries so to speak, but on some occasions does welcome an energizing sunburst in the weather. The Hanna-Barbera superhero Birdman, however directly derived his powers from the Sun and bad guys knew this, and tried to use shadow-rays ( a contradiction in terms, unless they used Ultra-Violet strobe lights.)

The sun. It's earths red sun that gives Superman his strength - that's why when the Zod got the same powers when he came to earth. On Krypton, Superman was a norma "man".
Superman's energy and powers come from the radiation emitted by a yellow star. so in essence, he gets it from the sun.

Superman's strength comes from earth's yellow sun. See, on Krypton, the red sun, and rock that the planet was made of (kryptonite) would sedate the kryptonians strength. Since the planet was destroyed and Superman came to earth, the lack of red sun and kryptonite empowered him.
