As has been explained in the comics, superman's cells do act as solar batteries, absorbing sunlight. When he arrived on the planet his cell absorbtion ability was immature, which is why it took him so long to fully develop his powers. Now that he is an adult the storage ability of his body is at maximum and any power loss of his energy levels cause his cells to increase in their absorbtion rate to compensate. This is why it takes superman such a short time to recover from an exposure to kryptonite or red solar radiation instead of the years it originally took him. If superman had originally come to earth as an adult, such as the phantom zone villains did, it would have only taken him a few days to reach full power. As to why the PZV 's could use their powers so well, i have no clue. I also want to point out that in the year later story line running in comics now, apparently they've introduced some malarkey about superman having to really want his powers back, which is why he's been plain ol' clark kent for a year.
