If there is an open space with (1) a ground-mounted solar PV array and (2)native plantings or adapted vegetation beneath the PV panels and around them so as not to block sunlight, would the area beneath the PV panels be able to contribute to the SS c1 Habitat square footage calc, the SS c2 Open Space calc, both calcs, or neither calc?

I haven't come across this situation before, but to be safe, I wouldn't count on the area beneath the PV panels contributing to either of the calculations.
