Can't see the problem ... oh a discrepancy between the Givenergy report data and what Octopus got from the smart meter. I think the report data is known to be inaccurate.
I'd use the meter data on the inverter data page - on my system the figures are usually very close to the Smart meter/Octopus values (within .1kWh).

The reason I think it is a problem is that he has a 4.1kW array which as far as I know isn't capable of producing that much energy throughout the day. I've got a 4.5kW array and the most I've ever done in one day is nearly 30kWh

Anomnomnomaly Thats pretty good. As I said, I've got a 4.5kW array but temperature always seems to be quite high when the sun is out for ages causing generation to drop off :/
5.6kW array here (5kW inverter) and can only manager 36kWh on the best day
Ra Where is your inverter and battery located? Mine is in the garage on the North side of the house, which is always much cooler.
I'd also add that my array is only a few degrees of due South... and even after 7pm at the moment am getting over 1kw of generation. It does tend to drop of quickly after that. But will at least be covering the house until around 8pm and the 5.2kwh battery is lasting until 3am on avg.
My friend has contacted Octopus, they're looking into it apparently but nothing obvious going on....
