Ehhh not really a problem unless you idolize 12/48 V style systems that aren't adequate for these modern chemistries (i.e., non-lead-acid based) that scale down effectively to single digit amp hours per cell. You can keep the current around a comfortable 20A at any pack size, just by increasing the voltage. Say 5Ah cells. At 1.5kV (the highest easily practical with mainstream transistors and sticking to the "simple" circuit designs), that's 7.5kWh per such battery string.

That's a small home solar setup's entire battery.
