Modern data indicates a variation of 1 in 1366 watts/sq metre due the solar cycle.... or 0.00732 %

I am unaware of any study showing and significant correlation between the 11 year solar cycle and global temperature.... but would welcome a link.

Currently old sol has gone through a prolonged minimum (very quiet until very recently as any H-Alpha observer will verify) which doesn't correllate at all with NASA global temperature data.
