人類不斷進步的表象背後，隱含著能源過度消耗與環境破壞的危機，再生能源的使用已成為永續發展之必經之路。眾多再生能源當中，太陽熱能的珍貴特性，對於導入產品設計有很大的機會與益處。以太陽熱能之炊具設計為例，其不需耗費資源生火，亦不會產生對人體有害的燃燒廢氣與灰燼，此種炊具以「太陽的熱」直接轉換為「烹煮的熱」做使用，是自然、環保又非常經濟的。此外，對於第三世界國家來說，如此炊具，作為一個負擔的起的替代方案，既可滿足烹飪需求，亦能解決燃料難以取得、爐火灰燼影響健康等問題，其重要性不容忽視。如此應用再生能源的生活必需品若能加以推廣，在環保的意義上將會產生極高的價值。

本創作論文以太陽輻射、集熱技術、烹飪原理三方面之文獻探討為起始，並蒐集太陽熱能炊具案例，交叉分析，探尋可發展的機會點，發想新型態的概念原型。設計過程中，致力透過設計方法與實驗精神體現，重覆驗證測試，最終以災區太陽爐、太陽鍋此二作品重新詮釋：(1)太陽熱能炊具應用於不同情境的機會；(2)改善現有太陽熱能炊具不同面向的問題，並探尋被更多人接受的可能性。整體創作成果，期望藉由將微型化綠能技術應用於產品之設計創作，能帶給需要的使用者些許幫助外，亦能為環境善盡一份心力。

Behind the appearance of the continuous progress of mankind, the crisis of excessive energy consumption and environmental destruction is hidden, and the use of renewable energy has become the only way which must be passed for sustainable development. Among numerous renewable energies, the precious features of solar thermal energy have tremendous chances and benefits for products design. Taking the design of solar thermal cooker as example, it does not need to consume other resources for making fire, and it will not produce harmful combustion exhaust gas and ash. Such cooker is used by transferring “the heat of sun” into “the heat for cooking”, which is natural, environmentally friendly and very economical. In addition, for the third world countries, such kind of cooker serves as an affordable alternative which does not only meet the cooking needs, but can solve the problems like that fuel is difficult to be obtained and ashes has bad effects on human health. Its importance can not be ignored. If such necessities with application of renewable energy can be promoted, high value shall be generated in the sense of environmental protection.

This thesis started from literature review on solar radiation, heat collecting technology and cooking principles, and it assembled cases of solar thermal cooker for cross-analysis in order to explore the opportunities for further development and to develop new kind of concept prototypes. During the design process, it was dedicated to present through design methods and experimental spirit by repeating validation tests and finally used two works, “Solar cooker for disaster area” and “Solar pot”, for interpretation: (1) chances for solar thermal cooker to be applied in different situations; (2) to improve the problems on different aspects of the existing solar thermal cooker and explore the possibility for it to be accepted by more people. The results of this thesis are: by applying the miniaturization of green energy technology into creative product design, contribution can be made to the environment, and certain assistance can be brought to the users.
