Chillis pollinate themselves, so don't worry about that. People wanting to get true seed (because they cross-pollinate promiscuously) deliberately enclose plants in insect-proof covers.

Chillis need lots of sunshine to grow well. They won't set fruit in UK winter illumination. If you want to get fruit out of season, you need growlights.
