During solar maximum, large numbers of sunspots appear and the sun's irradiance output grows by about 0.07%.he smoothed sunspot number has already reached 67 (in February 2012) due to the strong peak in late 2011 so the official maximum will be at least this high. The smoothed sunspot number has been flat over the last four months.
