The markup for grid tie-in systems was exceptionally high, because of the tax rebates offered. The installers understood this, and priced their systems accordingly.
Perhaps you could make a quick internet search for the type of panel you have and their cost, and estimate what the installation company's actual labor expenses were. If the price is low enough to make it possible for you to keep the system, make them an offer. Perhaps they'd be willing to work out a special price for batteries as well.
Remember, they'll lose money if they give you a 100% refund, and have to remove (used) panels as well, so they may be quite willing to negotiate a price near actual cost. Breaking even is a better option for them at this point than losing money.
