What did your contract of purchase say about the promised incentives?  Why did you close on title if the incentives were not installed/built?  Did the seller actively mislead you about whether the incentives were installed/built?  The general rule is that, after the closing, the buyer cannot enforce statements or agreements made by the seller before the closing.  If the buyer accepts the deed, it means legally that the buyer is happy with the house on the day of the closing.  There is an exception, however, if the seller committed fraud, or actively hid material defects. If that did not happen here, you are probably not going to be successful in suing the seller.
