Superman is one of the greatest and most popular comic book superheroes
ever. However, few know the reason why he wears red underwear outside his
costume. The answer is found in the era when this fictional character was
conceived—the 1930s. Back then, circus strongmen wore underpants over skintight
spandex to signify their super-strength and endurance. Joe Shuster, the
original Superman artist, literally drew inspiration from this strongman ideal,
and this article of clothing had stuck
(and refused to be undressed) ever since.
Another piece of trivia may surprise people: Superman is a solar
battery. All his powers depend on solar energy, absorbing and converting it
into fuel, pretty much like solar installations. In the real world, the process
of converting solar radiation to current electricity to generate electrical
power is called photovoltaics, or PV, In this method, solar panel
semiconductors, commonly made of silicon, generate electrical power by
converting solar radiation.
These rectangular panels can be installed on the roof as roof tiles,
flat-roof mounted or ground mounted. Using solar energy has many benefits,
including free energy, zero greenhouse emission, and reduced carbon
footprints. Although solar energy is
still quite expensive and its storage technology is still in its infancy, it
will soon save man from destroying himself, something even Superman can't do.
Call your local solar installation company to discuss with you this energy
saver.
