The invention discloses a large-span flexible cable supporting photovoltaic system, which comprises photovoltaic modules, inhaul cables, stabilizing rods, cross beams, stand columns, oblique pull rods, bearing platforms, prestressed tubular piles, ground beams and a damping device. The large-span flexible cable supporting photovoltaic system is characterized by fully utilizing idle solar energy resources above places such as fish ponds, farmland or sewage treatment plants, setting up a solar photovoltaic assembly thereon, having the feature of ''one place for dual purposes'', adopting the inhaul cables as supporting structures of the solar photovoltaic assembly, achieving the purpose that the photovoltaic industry and other activities developed thereunder such as fishery, agriculture or sewage treatment operation do not interfere with one another, effectively improving the rigidness of the entire system through forming a criss-crossed supporting network by means of the inhaul cables and the stabilizing rods, being capable of dissipating the vibration energy of the inhaul cables by installing the damping device at a midspan position of the inhaul cables preferentially, and ensuring the safety of the photovoltaic assembly.
