A vehicle part with at least one integrated photovoltaic element includes a part body, at least one area of a barrier layer disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the part body; and at least one photovoltaic element disposed over an area of the barrier layer. Paint covers the portions of the surface of the part body surrounding the photovoltaic elements. A method of making a vehicle part having at least one integrated photovoltaic element includes applying at least one area of a barrier layer on at least a portion of the surface of the part and applying at least one photovoltaic element over an area of the barrier layer. A protective layer is applied over the surface of the photovoltaic element, the surface of the part is painted, and the protective layer can then be removed to expose the photovoltaic element.
