Summary:Methods, systems, and devices for determining the placement of one or more lightning rods in one or more circles of non-interference in a solar field, where the placement is based on a determined location of one or more ungrounded triangular heliostat structures and one or more circles of interference, where the one or more circles of interference are areas within a range of motion of one or more heliostats disposed on corners of the one or more triangular heliostat structures in the solar field.
