Provided is a floating-type on-water support apparatus including: a ball; a floating unit including a floating part, wherein the floating part has an upper plate supporting the ball so that the ball is rotatable, an interior formed to be hollow, and a lower plate provided with a spherical surface portion and floats on water; a support rod coupled to the ball and having one end exposed above the water so that a structure is installable thereon and the other end heavier than the one end so as to stand vertically to be accommodated in the floating part; and a base unit having one end installed on a lower portion of the support rod to support the support rod and the other end in roll contact with the spherical surface portion.

Waves introduce stresses in a floating object, such as a pontoon. The stresses can be introduced by multiple mechanisms, such as waves crashing onto the pontoon, an imbalance in buoyancy and weight load causing hogging and sagging Alternating movements and stresses may result in fatigue in the material. Multiple pontoons can be moored next to each other. When placed on a body of water with a higher wave intensity, such as open sea, the wave induced motions and stresses may cause failures in the pontoons or connections between individual pontoons. A network of pontoons is provided, interconnected with connection modules. The connection modules allow the network of pontoons to resist the loads and movements from the waves or to follow the shape of the, thus preventing failures in the connection modules and in the pontoons. The pontoons may be used to provide a mounting surface for photovoltaic panels.
