Nuclear electron capture rate from continuum in an astrophysical plasma environment (like solar core) is calculated using a modified Debye-Huckel screening potential and the related non-Gaussian q-distribution of electron momenta. For q = 1 the well-known Debye-Huckel results are recovered. The value of q can be derived from the fluctuation of number of particles and temperature inside the Debye sphere. For Be-7 continuum electron capture in solar core, we find an increase of 7-10% over the rate calculated with standard Debye-Huckel potential. The consequence of these results is a reduction of the same percentage of the SSM B-8 solar neutrino flux, leaving the SSM Be-7 flux unchanged.
