Different SSR have different turn on voltage, please check the datasheet of your model.
One more thing about SSR is that, unlike mechanical ones, they exist "half- on" state, when the voltage is in their linear response region. And you need to carefully avoid getting to this state, because that's when they as like a resistor, and when large current pass through, they can get very hot, literally melt themselves.
Guess how I figure this out...
