Explanation / Answer

When the solar maximum has arrived in 2001 and has a period of 11 years, then the next solar maximum would have came in 2012 and the next will come in the year 2023.

But as the solar activity was delayed by 2 years and arrived in 2014, then it can be expected that it will come in 2025.
