虽然标准太阳模型取得了比较引人注目的成功, 但是无论是 只由太阳中微子流量的观测资料进行直接分析，还是从太阳振荡的角度讨论问题，目 前都还不能完全否定非标准太阳模型。由近期的Super Kamiokande实验 结果还无法解释太阳中微子问题也说明由天体物理研究对太阳中微子问题进行解释 的可能性依然存在，而满足观测结果的非标准太阳模型则可以对太阳中微子 问题的解决提供很大帮助。
Although standard solar models have achieved great success, non standard solar models can still not be totally ruled out. The model independent analysis, the helioseismological study, and the most recent Super Kamiokande neutrino experiment results have set very strong constraints on solar models, but the possibility of an astrophysical solution to the solar neutrino problem still exists. Solar models will also be critical in providing constraints on parameters in the neutrino oscillation theories.
