I've had great success overwintering chile plants inside.  That's very
different from growing them inside.  My three year old hab and serannos
produce much larger yields than one year old plants.  I live near Boston,
and my plants are coming indoors this weekend.  I expect to get one more
picking of ripe peppers.  I would have to pick them green to avoid frost
damage if I wasn't bringing them inside.

The short answer is that you get a late season picking and an early start
on the next season, but not much in between.
