To provide a thermoelectric generation device with a thermoelectric generation module and a waterproof method for the thermoelectric generation module that can better suppress electrical leak at a lower cost.SOLUTION: A thermoelectric generation device comprises one or more thermoelectric generation modules (42) in which a plurality of thermoelectric transducers (72P, 72N) are arranged between a pair of dielectric plates (71a, 71b). The thermoelectric generation module (42) includes a plurality of electrical wires (51), the covered portion of which extends from within an area where the pair of dielectric plates face each other. Within the area, electrodes (73) are provided to be connected to the electrical wires. The module also includes a waterproof material filled between the pair of dielectric plates in a state that the plurality of electrical wires are connected to the corresponding electrodes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】より低コストで漏電の発生をより抑制可能な熱電発電モジュールを備えた熱電発電装置及び熱電発電モジュールの防水方法を提供する。【解決手段】熱電発電装置は、一対の絶縁板（７１ａ、７１ｂ）の間に複数の熱電変換素子（７２Ｐ、７２Ｎ）を配置した熱電発電モジュール（４２）を１つ以上、備える。その熱電発電モジュール（４２）は、一対の絶縁板が対向する範囲内に設けられた電極（７３）と接続され、その範囲内から被覆された部分が延出している複数の電線（５１）と、複数の電線がそれぞれ対応する電極と接続された状態で、一対の絶縁板の間に充填された防水材と、を有する。【選択図】図７
