It's always said that reactive power is interpreted as magnetic field in motors (or transformers) it can also be the electric field in capacitor, but where does an inverter "store" that reactive energy?
Electrical – how is it possible that an inverter absorb reactive power

There's not a physical stock of reactive energy, but the control imposes a phase shift between voltage and current, which means a power factor lower than 1.
