Installing solar panels on a residence does not take long at all. While planning, purchasing, and much of the lead-up work can take a few weeks, the actual installation is usually done in just a few days, with much of the work being done outside so you can expect little disturbance.

The specific time it takes to install panels depends on the size and situation of the system, along with the complexity. For example, ground mount systems and systems with battery backups will take a bit longer because there are more variables to be considered. Even then, we are not talking about any significant length of time. Normally, only large-scale commercial systems will take several weeks to months to finish. Homeowners can expect no more than a few days of pitter-patter and clanging up on the roof.
