Is this a situation where it will make a difference in terms of credit compliance, whether you use one method or another? I would say that for simplicity's sake it would make the most sense to simply count the full area of both roofs—including the part that has the overhang over it.
In some situations (like with balconies) the overhead method is used so it could probably be justified, but to counter that, when the sun is at an angle, it would hit an overhung portion.
