Hello,
We are working on a project which is going to have almost all of its roof covered by solar panels. However, is very important for the project owner to achieve also the protect or restore habitat credit. Is it possible to comply with the requirements of this credit planting several sedum species on an intensive green roof located under the solar panels?
Thank you!

This credit is focused on providing native habitat. The plants must be "native or adapted, provide habitat, and promote biodiversity." I'm skeptical whether a handful of sedum plants under solar panels would a) survive and b) meet this criterion. Techinically it's not impossible, but that's what you're up against!
