Solarflaretracker200 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Its guessed to be around 2024 or 2026 Edited December 21, 2021 by Solarflaretracker200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full cycle is 11 years long, so the peak would be around 24, but some people think this one may peak early. At the latest, 24-25, definitely not 26.
