Default State of the art Ion Engines

What's the current state of the art in ion engines? How well
do they do, and when one adds solar panels (or some other energy source)
and such to the mix, what's the thrust/weight ratio?


Ion engines are the current winner in the very-low-acceleration game, right?


-Much Thanks
