PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steam generation method for stably generating and supplying steam while reducing troubles due to a heat medium, in a system for generating steam using solar heat.SOLUTION: The method for generating steam using solar heat includes: a step (X) of circulating a heat medium gas g between a receiver 1, on which sunbeams are condensed by a light condensing device having a plurality of mirror bodies, and a regenerative furnace 2 including a breathable heat reservoir and, during the circulation, heating the heat medium gas g by sunbeams condensed to the receiver 1 while storing heat of the heat medium gas g in the regenerative furnace 2; and a step (Y) of circulating the heat medium gas g between the regenerative furnace 2 having passed the step (X) and a heat exchanger 3, and during the circulation, radiating heat stored in the regenerative furnace 2 to the heat medium gas g while exchanging heat between the heat medium gas g and water using the heat exchanger 3 to generate steam.
