What you mean by "lower scale" is unclear.
The graph, OTOH, is straight forward - x-axis is time, and the traces
are solar flux, sunspot number, and planetary A index (degree of
disturbance of Earth's magnetic field).

There have been very accurate scientific astronomers going back to
Tycho Brahe and before. Kepler couldn't have done what he did if this
wasn't the case.

It shows that solar output and sunspot number are intimately linked.
Now look at the 2nd graph again.

There is evidence of variable outputting of solar energy. I've shown
you three graphs that demonstrate this, over different time scales.
It's a fact.
