at least one of the support body and the floating body is provided with a reflective coating.

3. The support apparatus for a photovoltaic module according to claim 1 , wherein the support body is not configured to provide buoyancy.

4. The support apparatus for a photovoltaic module according to claim 1 , wherein the support frame and the plurality of reinforcement beams are in an integrated structure.

5. The support apparatus for a photovoltaic module according to claim 1 , wherein the edge beams of the support frame are provided with a reinforcement structure.

6. The support apparatus of a photovoltaic module according to claim 1 , wherein one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the support frame is provided with a positioning protrusion, the other one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the support frame is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning protrusion;

in a case where a plurality of support bodies are stacked, the positioning protrusion of one of two adjacent support bodies is inserted in the positioning groove of the other one of the two adjacent support bodies.

7. The support apparatus for a photovoltaic module according to claim 1 , further comprising: a support assembly, wherein the support assembly is arranged on the support body and configured to position the photovoltaic module above the water surface.

8. The support apparatus for a photovoltaic module according to claim 2 , further comprising: a support assembly, wherein the support assembly is arranged on the support body and configured to position the photovoltaic module above the water surface.
