Just another thought on your 50% duty cycle......
If you are thinking about switching 1/2 wave rectified AC through an SSR then it will not switch on reliably unless you provide a small load prior to the rectification (the SSR needs to see both the positive and negative going parts of the waveform to detect the zero crossing point).
