What kind of questions do you have? It's pretty straightforward. Most of them have internal current limiting so you can drive them directly from a digital output. Measure your drive current to make sure you do not exceed the output of your 240's, but most of SSRs only need a few mA. It's a little better to common on the + side and pull the - input to the SSR low than to common the - side and drive the + input, because that usually means less heat generated in your driver.
I've been driving SSRs directly from output ports of PIC processors for years in a variable phase angle trigger for dimmers. If you use a zero-crossing SSR you don't even have to worry about sync to the line.
