PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric generation system with a large power generation amount without occurrence of uneven contact even if there is variation in thickness of a thermoelectric conversion module, and without a damage in the thermoelectric conversion module even if a tightening force is increased, because waste heat of a comparatively low temperature region is collected. SOLUTION: The thermoelectric generation system has a plurality of thermoelectric conversion units 5 and 5A which are fitted to pipings 6 and 7 where mediums 6a and 7a flow and thermoelectrically convert heat which the mediums hold so as to generate power. Each of thermoelectric conversion unit 5 and 5A includes the thermoelectric conversion module 2 having thermoelectric conversion materials 21 and 22 and a pair of insulating plates 23 sandwiching the thermoelectric conversion material, a pair of plate-like conductive metals 3 and 3A sandwiching the thermoelectric conversion module from outside the insulating plates, and an insulating mold material 4 where a part of the conductive metals and the thermoelectric generation element are embedded so that one face of the conductive metal is exposed for integrally unitizing the thermoelectric conversion module and the conductive metal.
