capacitors don't save energy, they store it for a temporary period.

No, an inverter wastes energy. They are 90% efficient at best, which means 10% is lost as heat. That applies to sine wave or other types.

Re capacitors, if you are talking about that scam of putting a device on your utility lines to change the power factor, that does not save any energy, nor any money, as the utility charges you for real power only.
