Carl,
I realized mis-read/answered your question.  I was having a couple
conversations yesterday about clamping modules on the short side and it must
have still been on my mind when I read your question.

Either way the answer should still be on the specific module's spec sheet or
most definitely in the install manual.
It is usually listed as "max load capacity" or "snow load" and be given in
pascals.
