The subject of this research is the solar pot, a new invention. It became protected at the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office as a utility model (patent number 5489) in 2021. The solar pot can be used to cook food or heat liquids. It has a similar jacketed structure to a tube-in-tube heat exchanger. It has an outer jacket and an inner cooking space. The solar pot has been manufactured but not tested yet through modelling and simulation or with measurements or experiments. These kind of examinations represent a completely new field of research. This paper aims to create a mathematical model for the solar pot, which allows the calculation of the pot's temperature. The modelling and the first results of the simulation based on it are presented. Based on the results, conclusions can be drawn regarding the applicability and efficiency of the solar pot. The environmentally friendly pot can perform cooking tasks. Its use reduces carbon dioxide emission by 247 g on one cooking occasion. Future research plans include assembling an experimental solar pot and solar collector system and creating additional models of the system and the system elements. Measurements will be made on the experimental system under different conditions, which allows the assessment of the applicability and functionality of the pot and the validation of the mathematical models.
