Good, you understand it

Seriously thought, solutions architect is an interesting role. In some companies, it is limited to a certain department. In others, it is Enterprise Architecture. (working with different branches/parts of the company/etc.) One caveat is to make sure you don't become an "ivory tower architect." While a solutions architect might be involved with the design of individual applications, it is usually much higher design.
As far as your original question, as long as you find your role interesting, I think you'll do well. My only caveat is to make sure you won't miss the 'lower level" parts of development.
