Solar Panels
Panels are installed - usually on your roof - to capture energy from the sun. A south facing roof is best for peak production, but is not strictly necessary.

Inverter
With or without a battery, you’ll need an inverter. This converts the DC coming out of the panels/battery, to the AC that your house needs.

Battery
Store energy for use when it is most effective. Store your solar during the day and use it at night, or charge the battery from the grid when it’s cheap.
FAQs

It varies on what you're having done: How many solar panels, access to your roof, how many batteries, etc. Generally, it can take between 2-5 days.

As with everything, it varies! Generally you'll see your electricity bill drop dramatically. For solar + battery installs, it isn't uncommon to use no electricity at all during the summer months.
