This invention concerns a floating photovoltaic (PV) platform for use in the field of solar energy. In particular invention concerns a floating PV platform for construction of floating photovoltaic installations. More in particular, the floating PV platform includes a supporting metal structure on the underside of a supporting element pontoon bodies forming groups, each group are fixed to a metal frame of the supporting metal structure and PV modules, where the angle of the PV modules can be adjusted automatically. The floating photovoltaic platform of the present invention includes a supporting metal structure on the underside of a supporting element (2) pontoon bodies (1) formed in groups (10) are established, each group (10) being fixed to a metal frame (14) of the supporting metal structure. On the upper side of the element (2) are PV modules (5), each of which is composed of a frame (7) in which photovoltaic panels are housed (6). The photovoltaic modules (5) are mobile with the possibility of varying their angle relative to the horizon from −15° to +45° by means of a lever module composed of an upper arm (9), a lower arm (4) and an actuator (8). The upper arm (9) and the lower arm (4) at one end are connected to the working body of the actuator (8) and the other end of the upper arm (9) is connected to one end of the frame (7) of the PV modules (5), the other end of the lower arm (4) being connected to a supporting beam (12) of the supporting metal structure. The opposite end of the frame (7) is connected to a bearing body (15) established to element (2). The movable PV modules (5) are arranged on element (2) in two oppositely located photovoltaic fields (13.a and 13.b) separated from each other by a service path (11), each photovoltaic field (13.a and 13.b) being composed of the photovoltaic modules (5) arranged in rows, whereby each row is composed of photovoltaic modules (5), the service path (11) being composed of elements, removably connected to each other and covered by a retroreflective coating (3).
