    Abstract: Method for distributing heliostats in a tower solar plant surrounded by a field of heliostats which reflect solar radiation on said tower. The distribution method for said heliostats consists of imitating the systems that are found in nature to maximize the collection of light (plant seeds, leaves and petals) and which is mathematically described by Fermat spirals in a number belonging to the Fibonacci series, through the placement, in polar coordinates, of each heliostat according to a radius and an angle defined by r n = c n · n ; ? n = n · 2 · ? ? 2 ; being: rn distance from the tower (2) to the position of the heliostat n (3), ?n the angle formed by the radius rn with the radius rn-1, n number of the heliostat (3) we wish to place, cn parameter that corresponds to the compactness index of the heliostats (3) in the plant, ? the irrational limit of the golden section, i.e.
