This is not supposed to happen.

In physics, skepticism is always deserved, even if later shown to be wrong.

Oh my yes, physics is in desperate need of a good surprise.  But not this.
This wouldn't be a good surprise.  If the sun impacts decay rates, then it
could only be neutrinos doing it.  But the sun's neutrino flux doesn't vary
on a regular basis.  Only the distance from the earth to the sun changes
annually, which would affect the neutrino flux by about 7%.
