Maybe i'm just dense... but i'm sure i've seen voltage ratings on certain transistors over 250volts, if so, could you not use (not going to TRY!, just in theory here..) 240vdc (rectified) and feed 0v/240v through the collector/emittor same as a solid state relay? or what's the differences exactly? I…

SSR vs High Voltage Transistor.
