A floating photovoltaic (PV) system that has a float and at least one PV module. The float is made of two layers, a lower water-permeable layer and an upper water-non-permeable layer. The two layers are held together in a stack configuration, so that when the system is placed in a body of water, the lower layer remains substantially submerged below the surface of the water and the upper layer floats at or above the surface of the water.
