We determine bolometric light curves and total energies radiated away during the outburst of symbiotic novae. Time integrated lower limits to the total energy of 0.9×1046 <E[erg] < 7×1046 are found. Thus, the output is comparable to, or larger than the total energy production of a classical nova outburst. From the mass-luminosity relation we find the underlying stellar masses to be 0.5 < M/M < 1.1.
